Kylian Mbappé became Paris Saint-Germain’s all-time record goalscorer as he scored the fourth in a 4-2 win over Nantes at the Parc des Princes.
The result sees Les Parisiens open up an 11-point lead at the top of the table.
Throughout the first 30 minutes, the Parisians were dominant and raced into a two-goal lead with Lionel Messi beating Nicolas Pallois to a deflected cross, before Jaouen Hadjam put the ball into his own net at the back post under pressure from Nordi Mukiele.
