Late Mbappe goal sends Lille top of Ligue 1

SPORTS 13.09.2026

Ethan Mbappe redeemed himself after his Champions League red card by scoring a late goal in a 2-0 win over Troyes on Sunday that sent Lille top of Ligue 1.

Text size:

Mbappe, the younger brother of France and Real Madrid star Kylian, was sent off in Wednesday's 3-2 home loss to Real Betis in Europe for elbowing an opponent.

The 19-year-old put that incident behind him though as he came off the bench against Troyes to seal victory in stoppage time, after the hosts had taken a first-half lead through Portuguese full-back Tiago Santos.

Mbappe celebrated his first goal since December in subdued fashion by apologising to supporters for his red card, but it was a strike that lifted Lille above Monaco and Rennes on goal difference at the top of the table.

Lille have taken 10 points from a possible 12 under new coach Davide Ancelotti, the son of Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti.

Paris Saint-Germain are seeking their first win of the league season as they head to unbeaten Brest later on Sunday.

Luis Enrique's side began their quest to win a third consecutive Champions League title by thrashing Slovan Bratislava 6-1 in midweek.

However, they have collected just two points from their opening three matches in Ligue 1.
