Kylian Mbappe scores as PSG makes history

Mbappe showed lightning pace to run onto an Angel di Maria pass, get away from Boubacar Kamara and slot home. Kylian Mbappe scored as Paris St-Germain beat arch-rivals Marseille and equalled Tottenham’s record of 11 wins at the start of a league season.

Julian Draxler scored an injury-time second from Neymar’s off-target shot. Neymar had objects thrown at him from the home fans on several occasions as he tried to take corners earlier in the second half.
