Paris Saint-Germain just got the break that it had longed for in its Ligue 1 home fixture against Angers.

A header attempt by forward Mauro Icardi in the penalty box was partially blocked by Angers defender Pierrick Capelle’s arm. A VAR check confirmed this and awarded PSG with a penalty attempt.

As he has done plenty of times before, Kylian Mbappe delivered for the Ligue 1 giants with a key penalty score.

This was just the performance that Mbappe needed following the October international break.
