PSG scored six goals, three of which were from Mbappe

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) defeated Montpellier 6-2 on Sunday behind a hat-trick from Kylian Mbappe, gaining a dominating 12-point lead in Ligue 1.

Mbappe and Vitinha’s goals gave PSG the advantage at the Stade de la Mosson. Nevertheless, Montpellier equalized at halftime thanks to headers from Arnaud Nordin and a Teji Savanier penalty shot.

Following the break, Mbappe’s spectacular strike gave PSG the lead once more. Lee Kang-in then made it 4-2, and the French captain completed with a hat-trick.

Luis Enrique ended three straight ties with his greatest winning streak at home until September, thanks to a late goal from Nuno Mendes in Ligue 1.

After a 1-1 draw between Brest and Lille, Paris leads Ligue 1 by 12 points with eight games left. After twelve seasons, there will be a tenth title.

Mbappe played the entire ninety minutes of play for the first time since threatening to quit Ligue 1 in mid-February due to his contract expiring.

After scoring three goals in the third season, he now has 24 goals in Ligue 1. His total goal total is 38.

In order to give PSG their third goal, Mbappe’s longest shot went beyond the crossbar.

In the words of Luis Enrique, “Mbappe was excellent.” Take full use of him, and much more so when we are unable to.

They had a 2-0 lead in the first half, but Gianluigi Donnarumma’s touch on Tanguy Coulibaly, who scored following a poor backpass from Danilo Pereira, cost them the point.

Following the dismissal of head coach Jocelyn Gourvennec on Sunday, Montpellier leads Nantes by a point.

Against Brest, Jonathan David kept Lille’s scoring spree going.
