Ligue 1 2023-24: Kylian Mbappe Scores A Brace As Paris Saint-Germain Rout Lyon 4-1 - In Pics

French skipper Kylian Mbappé scored two goals to put him top of the French league’s scoring charts as Paris Saint-Germain won 4-1 at struggling Lyon on Sunday for its biggest success of the season under new coach Luis Enrique. All of PSG’s goals came in the first half against a dismal Lyon side. Captain Corentin Tolisso had complained about his team’s performance last weekend, but failed to control a pass from his own goalkeeper and then clumsily hacked down PSG’s Manuel Ugarte for a clear penalty. PSG remained unbeaten after four games and moved above Marseille on goal difference into second place behind leader Monaco, which has 10 points and a healthy 13 goals.
