Ligue 1: Mbappe's Hat-Trick Leads Paris to 5-0 Win, Season Goal Tally Surpasses 25

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured a comfortable victory over Montpellier in Ligue 1 on Sunday, with Kylian Mbappé scoring a hat-trick and setting up two more goals for his teammates.

The match was a clear case of PSG dominating the game from start to finish, with Mbappé leading the charge as he scored three times in just under an hour of play. The Frenchman opened the scoring early in the first half with a powerful header that beat Montpellier goalkeeper Mathieu Gardam low to the ground.

Mbappé then set up two further goals for his teammates in the second half, scoring himself before setting up Mauro Icardi to score the final goal of the match. The Argentine striker also contributed to the rout by scoring a brace himself.

In total, Mbappé has now scored 14 goals this season, which is already more than double the number of goals he managed last season. He is currently tied for top scorer with Monaco's Kylian Mbappe, who also scored three goals against Montpellier.

The PSG victory means they have now won their past four matches in all competitions, including a 7-0 thrashing of Strasbourg earlier this month. They remain at the top of the table, two points ahead of second-placed Nice, who drew 2-2 against Reims on Saturday.

Overall, it was a dominant display from PSG, who showed why they are considered one of the strongest teams in Europe. With Mbappé in such fine form, there is no doubt that PSG will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in the coming weeks and months.
