Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick as the French club beat their rivals Monaco 5-0 on Sunday to extend their lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table.
The victory was Mbappe's fifth in six games for PSG, who now have 48 points from 17 matches, seven clear of second-placed Nice. The striker has also surpassed his previous goal tally of 25, which he achieved during his first season with PSG last year.
Mbappe's hat-trick came after just four minutes of the match when he converted a penalty kick to give PSG the lead. He then added two more goals before half-time, scoring a brace of headers that put PSG in control of the game.
In addition to Mbappe's impressive performance, PSG's other star player, Lionel Messi, also had a key role in the victory. The Argentine forward assisted on three of PSG's five goals, including the second and third of Mbappe's hat-trick.
The win was PSG's fourth straight league victory, and it comes at a crucial time for the team, who are looking to maintain their title challenge despite facing tough competition from Monaco and Marseille.
Overall, Mbappe's hat-trick and Messi's assist were instrumental in securing PSG's victory over Monaco. With both players performing at such high levels, it is no surprise that PSG remain one of the most dangerous teams in the league this season.
