Kylian Mbappe struck twice as Paris Saint-Germain tightened their grip on the French title with a comfortable 3-0 win over Nimes on Saturday that saw the champions move 17 points clear at the top of Ligue 1.
Mbappe scored in the 69th and 89th minutes as runaway league leaders PSG extended their lead on second-placed Lille after the northern side’s 1-1 draw at Strasbourg on Friday.
Christopher Nkunku’s 40th-minute strike, which came after a beautiful chipped pass from Marco Verratti, got the ball rolling for Thomas Tuchel’s side against mid-table Nimes, who had goalkeeper Paul Bernadoni and poor PSG finishing — in particular from Mbappe — to thank for not taking an even heavier beating at the Parc de Princes.
