Dembele, Mbappe bag brace as PSG move within reach for Ligue 1 title
Paris Saint-Germain thrashed FC Lorient 4-1 to move within reach for their twelfth Ligue 1 title, pending AS Monaco’s result against Lille OSC.
Facing a Lorient side struggling in the relegation zone, PSG appeared in control from the very beginning.
The breakthrough came when 17-year-old Senny Mayulu set up Ousmane Dembélé, who calmly slotted home to give PSG the lead.
Kylian Mbappé doubled the visitors advantage with a backheel finish.
