The goal meant that all three of PSG’s attackers scored on the night. Neymar Jr. kicked things off with a free-kick, Mbappé got the game-winner, and Icardi here showed that he is just as lethal as ever.
The route felt especially good considering Montpellier spent the entire match being overly physical with PSG to the point wherein the 72nd minute, Pedro Mendes was sent off with his second yellow. After that, the floodgates opened and PSG started scoring goals at will.
The win extends PSG’s lead at the top of Ligue 1 to 8 points over rivals Olympique de Marseille. The victory isn’t without its blemishes though. Presnel Kimpembe and Idrissa Gueye were subbed off in the opening 25 minutes due to muscle injuries.
We’ll have more on the match throughout the evening so make sure to check back often and follow us on Twitter @PSGTalk.
