When Kylian Mbappé gets going, he is rarely happy with just one goal! And against Metz, the number 7 didn't break that rule, getting the opener in the fourth minute, before regaining the lead for his side on the hour mark.

In all competitions, it's the 13th time that he has scored at least two goals in the same match this season… As a reminder, the World Champion has been involved in 47 goals in 41 matches in Rouge et Bleu this season.
