Kylian Mbappé retakes the lead in the top scorer standings
After his brace at Olympique Lyonnais, the Paris Saint-Germain forward has retaken the lead in the Ligue 1 top scorer rankings.
One week after his brace at the Parc des Princes against RC Lens (1-3), we should have known that Kylian Mbappé would not be slow to make his mark against Les Rhodaniens on Sunday evening.
It took the Parisian striker just 4 minutes to find the back of Anthony Lopes' net (0-1, 4'), before setting the tone again with the 4th goal just before the break (0-4, 45+2').
A brace at Lyon that ensured his side took home a second consecutive league win, while allowing him to maintain his individual statistics too. In three matches, the n°7 has already found the back of the net on 5 occasions in Ligue 1!
It's unsurprising therefore that the Frenchman now sits at the top of the goals scored rankings, overtaking Wissam Ben Yedder and his 4 goals.
Kylian Mbappé is particularly fond of this habit, having already been crowned the league's top scorer in the last 5 seasons. In the 2022-2023 season, he picked up 29 goals.
Keep an eye on this as soon as the international break is over, with a triptych of fixtures on the cards including Nice, Borussia Dortmund and Olympique de Marseille.
