Kylian Mbappé scored an early goal for Paris Saint-Germain against RC Strasbourg as they look to keep pace with Lille OSC at the top of the Ligue 1 table.
The goal came in the 16th minute after some one-touch passing in the midfield. Leandro Paredes picked out Mbappé on the left flank with acres of space in front of him and only one defender to beat. The Frenchman showed patience while slowly dribbling before displaying his lightning-quick speed to blow past the defender and fire a shot through the legs of goalkeeper Matz Sels.

I’ve watched the goal numerous times and I still can’t work out how Mbappé scored from some an acute angle. Coming off a brace against FC Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League, Mbappé is clearly in spectacular form and if it continued into next week, PSG could find themselves knocking Bayern out of the tournament.
