PSG striker Kylian Mbappe might not have had the best of games against Saint-Etienne, but he scored two important goals for his team.

The Frenchman was clutch for PSG, as he scored the opening goal to nullify Bouanga's goal. Mbappe then scored from the penalty spot to give PSG the lead in the dying minutes of the game. Of course, that was not the last piece of action in the game.

Mbappe has 35 goals for the season, with 23 of them coming in Ligue 1.

The game looked set for a goalless draw. But the last 15 minutes of the game were eventful and exciting, as one of the most thrilling games of the season ensued.

Bouanga opened the scoring in the 77th minute, but Mbappe equalised barely two minutes later. The Frenchman scored one more from the penalty spot to give PSG the lead. But Hamouba equalised late on in stoppage time.

It seemed as if PSG squandered a great chance to capitalise on Lille's slip=up. But Mauro Icardi scored a dramatic late winner.
