PSG vs Lorient: Mbappe goal helps his side emerge victorious at home 

On Wednesday, Mbappe rose to the occasion against Lorient in the absence of Neymar. The Brazilian superstar was stretchered off in PSG's previous Ligue 1 game against Lyon, with the defending champions suffering a 1-0 defeat. Against Lorient, Mbappe stepped up when PSG were awarded a penalty after the Frenchman was brought down inside the box by Andrew Gravillon, resulting in his sending off. 

Usually, Neymar is the preferred penalty-taker for the Parc des Princes outfit but Mbappe did well from the spot to bag the lead.

The Frenchman got the opportunity to double the lead just minutes later but his curling shot that rebounded off the crossbar.
