Kylian Mbappé's strike for Paris Saint-Germain against Monaco pulled him clear of the chasing pack as the World Cup winner turned the prize to finish top of the scoring charts into a one-horse race.

Mbappé, who took over the captaincy against his former side, fired PSG back into the lead from the penalty spot after Ousmane Dembélé was impeded. The goal was his 14th of what has been an impressive start to the season by his own standards.
