And it wasn't all clear sailing for Mbappe, who had his night cut short during the 80th minute when Mauricio Pochettino substituted him with Angel Di Maria.
As he went off the ground, the Frenchman cut a furious figure, clearly unhappy with his supervisor's choice.
Fans took notice of his attitude on the box, with the hashtag 'Free Mbappe' rising on Twitter despite transfer news involving Real Madrid and Manchester United.

"Mbappé will need to establish himself in the long term. I made my debut in Lyon’s first team aged 17 - I scored my first UCL goal and became Ligue 1’s topscorer."

Pochettino stated Kylian is 'glad' at Paris Saint-Germain ahead of PSG's match against Brest.
I know Kylian is in great spirits," he added. He is extremely focused on having a successful season.
"Kylian Mbappe is a Paris Saint-Germain athlete who enjoys his time with us".
As I've telling, we believe Mbappe is our player, and I don't see he's not here for a season that initiated weeks back.
It's true that I enjoy this moment (while the transfer window is still active), and I do so with a sense of humor and positivity. This is a portion of the futbol game.
It's been my experience that certain facts that are stated and said may or may not be accurate, and almost are not.
