Having netted a brace this past weekend, Kylian Mbappe reached 150 league goals for his career, becoming the second-youngest player ever to achieve the feat.

Lionel Messi's 95th-minute free-kick ended Les Parisiens' wretched run of three consecutive losses as the Ligue 1 table-toppers triumphed over Lille 4-3 in dramatic fashion at the Parc des Princes.
While it was the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner who sealed the win for the record French champions, it was Mbappe who gave PSG the platform to stage the thrilling comeback.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner opened the scoring in the 11th minute, before he found the back of the net again in the 87th to level matters at 3-3.
Those two strikes by the Bondy native got him to 150 Ligue 1 goals in his career so far, making him the youngest player (24 years, 1 month) in the history of Europe's top five leagues to reach that number since Englishman Jimmy Greaves did it in 1962 as a 22-year-old.
The first time the attacker found the back of the net in the French top division was during the 2015/16 season for AS Monaco, with a left-footed strike against Troyes, and Mbappe has been scoring at a remarkable rate ever since.

He already has four Ligue 1 Golden Boots to his name, and is tied with Folarin Balogun and Jonathan Davids on 15 league goals at the summit of the top scorers table, so it appears likely that the France international will match the record for the most Golden Boots in the division's history with five.
