Paris Saint-Germain 2 Angers 1: Mbappe at the double as Motta sees red

Paris Saint-Germain had Kylian Mbappe to thank for their 2-1 win over Angers in Ligue 1 after Thiago Motta was sent off.

Kylian Mbappe netted a first-half brace as Paris Saint-Germain continued their march towards the Ligue 1 title with a 2-1 win over Angers – despite playing the majority of Wednesday's game at the Parc des Princes with 10 men.

Mbappe's 18th and 19th goals in PSG colours came either side Thiago Motta's red card for raking studs across Romain Thomas – an incident that left the Angers defender with a nasty graze across his ribcage.
