Kylian Mbappe scored two goals to bring his 22-goal total to the top of the standings, while Paris Saint-Germain beat Nimes 3-0 and placed 17 points ahead of the top. Mbappe has scored in all four games since the defeat of Neymar and Edinson Cavani by PSG. The double in the second half of the French star has earned him 51 goals in the league since his arrival in Monaco three years ago. He has scored 22 times in 20 league games and is the youngest player to have scored 50 goals in the French league.
"Every day, I work hard to help my team as much as possible and to have fun too," said Mbappe, who turned 20 in December.
"Football keeps having fun, scoring goals and breaking records. That's what motivates me, so I'm very happy. Only Barcelona star Lionel Messi scored more goals in the top five European leagues in 2018-1919, after beating 25 with a hat trick on Saturday. The Frenchman, Mbappe, winner of the World Cup, scored his first goal in the 69th minute with a pbad from Juan Bernat to score 2-0.
He clinched his second place in the 89th with a very good finish after having collected the pbad of Christopher Nkunku and brought to the left.
Nkunku had given the advantage to PSG late in the first half with excellent control and a good pbad from Marco Verratti.
Thomas Tuchel's team gained a 17-point advantage over Lille, who finished second with one game less, while Nîmes ranks eleventh.
Amiens won 1-0 at home against Nice, Patrick Vieira, to move away from the points of relegation.
Sehrou Guirbady's first goal for the club in the 11th minute was enough, Amiens ranking 16th at four points from the end zone while Nice was ninth.
