PARIS, Feb 27: Runaway league leader Paris Saint-Germain again relied on Kylian Mbappe as it rallied from a goal down to beat Saint-Etienne 3-1 at home on Saturday.
Mbappe has rescued PSG with late goals this season and this time he scored either side of halftime, before assisting on the third goal for midfielder Danilo in the 52nd minute at Parc des Princes.
The victory moved PSG 16 points clear of second-place Nice.
Both sets of players stood behind a banner reading “Peace for all” before kickoff amid Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
Earlier on Saturday, goalkeeper Walter Benitez made several saves to earn 10-man Nice a 0-0 draw at close rival Strasbourg and second place. (AP)
