When Paris Saint-Germain won 3-1 over Lens in the French League, Kylian Mbappe scored one goal in the 31st minute.

It was the 24-year-old’s 139th league goal for Paris Saint-Germain.

This number surpassed the previous record set by Edinson Cavani (138 goals).

Meanwhile, overall, Kylian Mbappe has recorded 203 goals for Les Parisiens.

The victory was even sweeter for Mbappe and colleagues.

Because beating Lens–which is in second place in the standings–means keeping their points away.

Now entering week 31, PSG is nine points ahead of Franck Haise’s team in the French League standings.
