Kylian Mbappe scored in his second straight game for Paris Saint-Germain, showing exactly why the Parisians needed him to stay.
The forward scored twice on his full return from exile, banging in the second and third of a comprehensive PSG win as the Parisians saw off one of their most obvious title rivals. Mbappe was by some distance the best player on the pitch, and seems to have started to reclaim the love of the Paris faithful after leading the reigning Ligue 1 champions to a 3-1 win.
PSG found themselves lacking in front of goal for most of the first half. Vitinha came close. Mbappe forced a fine clearance off the line. Achraf Hakimi skewed a shot narrowly wide. But Marco Asensio eventually found the breakthrough. It was the kind of goal he's scored countless of times, a shimmy onto his left foot and curled finish into the bottom corner.
The Frenchman found his third in second half stoppage time, an admittedly fortunate strike finding the bottom corner after a couple of ricochets. Still, it was no more than Mbappe deserved after turning in the kind of showing that shows just how good he — and his team — can be this year.
