Lionel Messi’s PSG cruise past Monaco after Kylian Mbappe double strike

Kylian Mbappe’s second goal was a result of link-up between himself and Lionel Messi, with the final pass from the Argentine skipper a thing of beauty. 

Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe scored twice as they defeated his former side Monaco 2-0 in Sunday’s (December 12) Ligue 1 clash in spite of Neymar’s absence from the side. It was Mbappe that made the difference at the Parc des Princes, with his game-winning brace.

Both of his goals came in the first half, with the initial strike coming from the penalty spot after just 12 minutes and his second right on half time, with Lionel Messi claiming an assist. Sofiane Diop had an early chance to stun the hosts after just three minutes when he powered into the penalty area only to send his shot straight into the left post.
