JAKARTA - Kylian Mbappe's new goal record marked Paris Saint-Germain's 2-0 win over AS Monaco in the 18th week of the French League match at the Parc des Princes Stadium, Sunday local time.

Mbappe bought PSG's two goals in that match to surpass the new record of 100 goals with Les Parisiens and make him the youngest player to reach that figure for a single club in the French League, at the age of 22 years and 357 days.

The PSG star scored his first goal with a 12th-minute penalty to open the scoring for the hosts after Lionel Messi was brought down by Djibril Sidibe inside the area.

Then Mbappe scored his second right at the end of normal first-half after picking up a pass from Messi and curling a curling shot into the far post to double PSG's lead.

PSG actually had many opportunities to widen the margin of advantage after Mbappe set his record, one of which was when Messi had wide shooting space in the penalty box but his finish deviated from the target in the 71st minute.

In contrast, the struggling Monaco did little to create dangerous situations and only three shots on target were easily tamed by goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

This victory has strengthened PSG's position at the top of the standings with a collection of 45 points, 13 points ahead of Marseille in second.

Meanwhile, Monaco, who have had to give up their five-game losing streak, are stuck in eighth place with 26 points after being overtaken by Montpellier the day before, according to the French League's official website.

The two teams will return to play on Wednesday when PSG travel to Lorient and Monaco host Rennes at the Louis II Stadium.
