PARIS (Reuters) – Kylian Mbappe scored a brace as newly-crowned Ligue 1 champions Paris St Germain had been held to a 3-3 draw at Racing Strasbourg in a spectacular encounter on Friday.

PSG, who claimed a record-equalling tenth top-flight title final weekend, needed to share the factors after Anthony Caci’s strike gave the hosts a last-gasp equaliser in stoppage time.

Before that, Mbappe had scored his twenty third and twenty fourth league objectives. He cancelled out Kevin Gameiro’s opener earlier than extending his group’s lead following Achraf Hakimi’s second-half strike after a Marco Verratti personal purpose.

The outcome left PSG on 79 factors from 35 video games and fifth-placed Strasbourg on 57, two factors behind third-placed Stade Rennais who occupy the final Champions League spot.
