Ligue 1 roundup: Mbappé equals PSG goals record in crucial win at Marseille

World Cup foes Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé inspired Paris St Germain to a 3-0 win at bitter rivals Marseille to extend their Ligue 1 lead to eight points on Sunday.

Mbappé, who scored twice, was set up by Messi for both his goals, and repaid the favour by laying on another for the Argentina forward as PSG, who were without the injured Neymar, moved to 60 points from 25 games with second-placed Marseille on 52.

France forward Mbappé, who was on the losing side against Messi’s Argentina in the World Cup final, became PSG’s joint record scorer with 200 goals - level with Edinson Cavani.

Third-placed Monaco slumped to a 3-0 home defeat against Nice, who prevailed thanks to a Terem Moffi double and a superb half-volley by Khéphren Thuram.

The result left Monaco on 50 points, ahead of fourth-placed RC Lens on goals scored after the team from north France drew 1-1 at Montpellier on Saturday.
