French forward Kylian Mbappe became Paris Saint-Germain's all-time top leading goal-scorer with his 201st goal for the club in their 4-2 win over Nantes in Ligue 1 on Saturday. The World Cup winner had equalled Edinson Cavani's previous record mark of 200 goals with a brace in last week's win at Marseille and went one better by netting in stoppage time at the Parc des Princes. PSG had earlier given up on a two-goal lead as they prepared for their crunch trip in the UEFA Champions League to Bayern Munich, with Lionel Messi putting them ahead and a Jaouen Hadjam own goal making it 2-0 inside 17 minutes before Nantes fought back to draw level prior to half-time. Ludovic Blas pulled one back for the visitors and Ignatius Ganago equalised, but Mbappe set up Danilo Pereira to put PSG back in front on the hour mark and then claimed his record-breaking goal late on. By doing so, Kylian Mbappe reached the record in just 247 appearances for the Parisans since signing from Monaco aged 18 in 2017.
