Match Events

9' Penalty Goal! PSG 1-0 Lyon (Neymar)

Neymar converts from the spot and it was so calmly done. The Brazilian waits for Lopes to dive to his right and then rolls it into the opposite bottom corner. 1-0 to PSG.

32' Red Card! Kimpembe sent off

Kimpembe originally goes into the book for a lunge on NDombele, but the decision is later changed to a red card. 

46' Second Yellow Card! Tousart sent off

This has been an ugly game, in all honesty. Tousart brings Mbappe down, who was ready to spring a counter for his side. A second yellow means both sides are down to 10 men.

52' CLOSE! Mbappe's shot hits the post

Both sides almost score within 30 seconds! First, Silva swipes a clearance straight into an onrushing Cornet, who sees his accidental effort bounce off the post. Mbappe immediately races up the other end and hits the post himself. This has been a strange match.

61' GOAL! PSG 2-0 Lyon (Mbappe)

Scrap that, Mbappe has scored, even if he needed both posts to do it. Neymar is at the heart of it, running into the Lyon box with no one wanting to make contact, and the Frenchman is on hand to slam the ball home with his left foot. 2-0.

66' GOAL! PSG 3-0 Lyon (Mbappe)

The game's done and dusted for PSG. Marquinhos helps out in attack by playing a one-two with Verratti in the box before neatly assisting Mbappe, who had an open goal to aim at. Two goals for Mbappe, 3-0 to PSG.

69' GOAL! PSG 4-0 Lyon (Mbappe)

Mbappe has his hat-trick! PSG are deadly on the counter-attack with this much room. The teenager races into acres of space and then smashes it beyond Lopes, one-on-one. 4-0. Can anyone in France get near the league leaders?

74' GOAL! PSG 5-0 Lyon (Mbappe)

Meunier and Neymar both smash the ball goalwards during another PSG attack. Mbappe even tries to set up Neymar before the ball falls kindly to him on the rebound. Plenty of Lyon players were in the way, none could stop him. 5-0... for now.

Match Reports

Kylian Mbappe scored four goals in 13 minutes as Paris Saint-Germain claimed a 5-0 victory over Lyon in a remarkable encounter at Parc des Princes.

Mbappe – who won the early penalty from which Neymar put PSG ahead – missed a glut of gilt-edged chances in Sunday's clash, but turned on the style after the hour.

Presnel Kimpembe's VAR-assisted red card had threatened to complicate matters for Thomas Tuchel, only for Lyon's Lucas Tousart to receive his marching orders on the stroke of half-time.
