Kylian Mbappe Scores On Paris Saint-Germain Return In Toulouse Draw

Kylian Mbappe won and converted a penalty on his Paris Saint-Germain return on Saturday in a 1-1 draw at Toulouse after being reinstated to the first team following a contract dispute with the French champions.

The France captain started on the bench but came on in the 51st minute and promptly broke the deadlock, drawing a foul from Rasmus Nicolaisen and tucking away the resulting spot-kick just past the hour mark.

Zakaria Aboukhlal equalised with a penalty three minutes from time after he was tugged back by Morocco team-mate Achraf Hakimi, leaving Luis Enrique still searching for his first win as PSG coach. "The result is a disappointment.

The draw is mainly down to a lack of luck," said the Spaniard, refusing to be drawn into a debate over Mbappe beginning the game as a substitute. "I know you (the media) like these controversial questions but my staff and I are going to keep managing things how we see fit." Mbappe's appearance was his first for PSG since a friendly on July 21 after not being invited to the pre-season tour in Japan and South Korea and then missing the opening 0-0 draw against Lorient.
