Kylian Mbappe was kept quiet as second placed Lens beat PSG 3-1 to narrow the Ligue 1 holder’s lead to just four points on top of the table.
Facing the goal from the top of the 18-yard box, surrounded by three defenders, Kylian Mbappe tried the spectacular.
He pivoted to his left, spinning to one side, before attempting to turn onto the other. But for all of his rotation, he simply lost the ball, a flurry of opposition defenders converging to poke it away. PSG’s star striker turned away in frustration, while Lens regained possession.

With Lionel Messi still out of the team and Neymar suspended, PSG needed their star striker to deliver. But the Ligue 1 leaders never got him in the game, while Lens were devastating on the break, stealing a 3-1 win to shrink Les Parisiens’ lead atop the table to just four points.
