Kylian Mbappe On Target As Paris Saint-Germain Ease Past Strasbourg

21.10.2023 - 19:55 sports.ndtv.com

Kylian Mbappe scored one goal and made another as a much-changed Paris Saint-Germain eased to a 3-0 win over Patrick Vieira's Strasbourg in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

Mbappe opened the scoring with a 10th-minute penalty and set up Carlos Soler to make it 2-0 just after the half-hour mark at a wet and windy Parc des Princes.

The reigning champions were heading for a routine victory and added a third in the 77th minute courtesy of Fabian Ruiz. It was a second straight win for PSG following their 4-1 defeat away to Newcastle United in the Champions League earlier this month, and the result moved them provisionally to the top of Ligue 1 after nine games.

The Qatar-owned club are a point clear of Monaco and two ahead of Nice, who face Marseille later on Saturday. "The logical concern with these games straight after an international break is that it is clearly not easy for the players to switch their mentality but the team played well and managed the game very well," said PSG coach Luis Enrique.

Reigning champions PSG moved two points clear of Nice at the top.
