Kylian Mbappe ended a four-game scoreless streak for Paris St Germain with a late penalty that helped the capital side extend its Ligue 1 lead to nine points with a 2-1 home win against Angers on Friday.
The France striker buried his spot kick three minutes from time after Danilo Pereira had cancelled out Angelo Fulgini’s first-half opener to put PSG on 27 points from 10 games.
Angers, which was the best side in the opening half, is fourth on 16 points as it left the Parc des Princes frustrated after a VAR review gave PSG the late penalty for a Pierrick Capelle handball. Second-placed RC Lens travels to Montpellier on Sunday.
“We never gave up, it was important to win today,” said Colin Dagba.
“Kylian really played a key role tonight.”
Without its South American internationals Lionel Messi and Neymar, who played World Cup qualifiers with Argentina and Brazil respectively on Thursday, PSG struggled and looked short of ideas throughout.
Angers took the lead in the 36th minute when Fulgini flicked the ball home from point-blank range from Sofiane Boufal’s cross. In the 63rd, Juan Bernat replaced Abdou Diallo for his first appearance in more than a year following a serious knee injury.
PSG lacked inspiration, failing to bring danger into the visitors’ area, but in the 69th, Ander Herrera found Mbappe on the right flank and the France striker sent a fine cross for Pereira, who headed home to equalise.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side pushed and was rewarded in the 87th when Capelle appeared to handle Mauro Icardi’s header and Mbappe kept his cool to convert the resulting spot kick for his fifth league goal of the season.
Angers defender Romain Thomas was fuming at the VAR, saying Icardi had previously fouled him.
“I’m sick and tired of the VAR. Millions were invested in it and they don’t know how to use it. I was fouled by Icardi and he took advantage of his foul to be in front of goal,” he said.
