101

Both Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele found the net twice, propelling Paris St-Germain towards clinching the Ligue 1 title.

If Lille is defeated later on Wednesday [20:00 BST] against Monaco, PSG will win the title for the third time in a row.

Dembele scored the first goal, then Mbappe added another with a deft flick.

When Mbappe nutmegged Nathaniel Adjei and crossed into the box, he found Dembele for his second goal of the match. In stoppage time, Mbappe doubled his own goal total.

With his goals, the France captain became the first player in one of Europe’s top five divisions to score 25 goals in four straight seasons.

Midway through the second half, Bamba Dieng headed in Benjamin Mendy’s perfect cross, providing solace for Lorient.
