The French striker was booed throughout the match and retaliated with a brace and gestured to his opponents
Paris Saint-Germain moved to within one point of Nice at the top of the Ligue 1 table, after surviving a fight back by Brest, but it was once again Kylian Mbappe who stole the headlines in French football with a last minute winner.
Booing Kyllian Mbappe often has its comeuppance. For, being a player to whom goals fall out of his boots, he usually has opportunities to respond to the noise from the stands and sunday, October 29, proved to be no exception.
Opening goals from Warren Zaire-emery and Mbappe himself had given psG a commanding position at the stade Francis-Le Ble but a fight-back saw their advantage obliterated by the 52nd minute. Brest goals via steve Mounie and Jeremy Le Douaron gave the side in sixth an unlikely chance to hit back at the side from the French capital but it would be Mbappe who would sink his sword into the hearts of the spectators.
After being booed, he would have the last laugh in the 89th minute by scoring into the middle of the goal following a penalty. He had initially failed to convert the high-pressure kick, seeing saved by Marco Bizot, but it came back to him for him to finish at the second time of asking.
It was the goal that made the final score 3-2, and the striker dedicated it to his detractors after ending their very brief joy at the initial save.
Later, when he was substituted, he again addressed a crowd to tremendous whistles. Mbappe reminded them that he had scored a brace and encouraged them to continue their whistling as he walked away with three points.
PSG firmly into Ligue 1 form
After losing 3-2 to Nice on september 15, psG have duly responded with a domestic unbeaten run that has seen them close to within one point of the Ligue 1 leaders.
in the following five games, they have won four and drawn once passing the majority of their tests quite comfortably with a 4-0 victory over Marseille, a 1-3 win at Rennes and a 3-0 prevalence over strasbourg.
They will bid to continue their purple patch against Montpellier on Friday, November 3.
