Mbappe’s late goal sends Lille top of Ligue 1

Ethan Mbappe's late goal propelled Lille to the top of Ligue 1, edging out Monaco and Rennes on goal difference. The 19-year-old, younger brother of France and Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe, redeemed himself after receiving a red card in a Champions League match. Mbappe came on as a substitute against Troyes and scored the decisive goal in stoppage time, following the hosts' first-half lead scored by Portuguese full-back Tiago Santos.

This victory marked Lille's first 10 points of the season under new coach Davide Ancelotti. Paris Saint-Germain, aiming for their first win of the league, will face Brest later on Sunday. Meanwhile, Luis Enrique's side started their bid for a third consecutive Champions League title with a 6-1 victory over Slovan Bratislava in midweek, but struggled to convert that momentum in Ligue 1, collecting only two points from their opening three matches.
