After a dominating 5-0 win over Galatasaray S.K. last Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain headed to Le Chaudron to take on AS Saint-Étienne.
The star early on in the match was Leandro Paredes, who seems to be rounding into form as of late. At the 9 minute mark, the Argentine scored a brilliant volley that beat Les Verts keeper Stéphane Ruffier. Here’s the reaction from Twitter as Paredes scored his first for Les Parisiens:

Paredes also took one for the team when he endured a reckless tackle from Jean-Eudes Aholou in the 25th minute and received a straight red for his actions forcing ASSE to play with 10 men for more than an hour.

Red for Jean-Eudes Aholou. Horrific lunge on Paredes. Doesn't look malicious but very dangerous. #ASSEPSG

It was only a matter of time for PSG to take advantage of Saint-Étienne being down a player. Kylian Mbappé had one goal brought back due to being offside; however, near the end of the first half, the Frenchman would make sure that he would get that goal back as he made it 2-0.

In the second half, PSG was able to create plenty of scoring chances and as a result, including a penalty shot opportunity won by Neymar Jr. The Brazilian would go on to miss the penalty-kick, which led to some buzz on Twitter as you can imagine.

Despite the miss, PSG was still able to flex their offensive muscle as Mauro Icardi would eventually make it 3-0.
To cap things off, Mbappé recorded a brace to make it 4-0 as fireworks were shot from the stands by Saint-Étienne supporters. These are some of the reactions on Twitter as PSG close out the week with two impressive wins in which nine goals were scored.

70 – Kylian Mbappé (20 years, 11 months, 25 days) has become the youngest player to reach 70 goals in Ligue 1 over the last 50 seasons – overtaking Bernard Lacombe who did it with Lyon in 1975 (22 years, 5 months, 11 days). Milestone. @PSG_English pic.twitter.com/IBhPzqFSln
