Radamel Falcao's ongoing resurgence was outshone by the Gunners target, who scored a brilliant hat-trick against Metz in Ligue 1 on Saturday
Arsenal target Kylian Mbappe scored his first Ligue 1 hat-trick on Saturday as Monaco thumped Metz 5-0 at Stade Louis II, restoring their three-point advantage at the summit.
Mbappe, 18, became the youngest player to score three times in one French top-flight match since a 17-year-old Jeremy Menez in 2005, while the in-form Radamel Falcao added a double to keep second-place Paris Saint-Germain at bay.
Mbappe, who has been linked with a move to Arsenal and recently compared to Thierry Henry by Gunners manager and former Monaco boss Arsene Wenger, fired home the opener after Falcao's cushioned header, and the Colombian added the second in the 10th minute with a near-post finish from Almamy Toure's cross.
