Mbappe scores again as runaway leader PSG beats Nimes 3-0

Explore Business Standard

Kylian Mbappe scored twice to take his league-leading tally to 22 goals as Paris Saint-Germain beat Nimes 3-0 on Saturday to move 17 points clear at the top.
Mbappe has scored in all four games since PSG lost forwards Neymar and Edinson Cavani to injury, and the France star's second-half double took him to 51 goals in the league since bursting on the scene with Monaco three years ago.
His 22 goals have come in 20 league games, and he's the youngest player to reach 50 league goals in French league history.
"Every day I work hard to help my team as much as I can, and to enjoy myself as well," said Mbappe, who turned 20 in December.
"Football's still about enjoying yourself, scoring goals, breaking records. That's what drives me so I'm very happy."
