Monaco 3 Toulouse 2: Mbappe limps off as champions win thriller

A late injury for Kylian Mbappe will cause concern for Monaco, who won an entertaining Ligue 1 opener at home to Toulouse.

Kylian Mbappe suffered a late injury as Monaco twice came from behind to beat Toulouse 3-2 in a home thriller to open the new Ligue 1 season, a day after Neymar joined title rivals Paris Saint-Germain.

Radamel Falcao and Kamil Glik scored second-half headers which proved decisive on Friday after the visitors had threatened to cause a major upset.

Mbappe, heavily linked with a move away during the transfer window, was not among the scorers and limped off with an injury Leonardo Jardim, as well as the striker's suitors, will hope is not serious.
