Kylian Mbappe again stole the spotlight as Paris Saint-Germain secured another impressive victory against Lorient on their path to clinching their 12th French Ligue 1 crown.

The 25-year-old, who was instrumental in the Paris club securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League semi-final at the expense of Barcelona, was at the thick of the action again, as he scored a brace and provided an assist for teammate, Ousmane Dembele, ensuring his PSG moved within touching distance of the Ligue crown.

While many had anticipated the former Monaco forward would put in a fantastic shift for his side on the night, few would have expected the level of immense showing Mbappe was going to display.

The World Cup winner dazzled on the left flank on several occasions. However, it was his assist to set up Dembele’s goal that appeared to have many abuzz.

The forward effortlessly danced past Ghanaian defender, Nathaniel Adjei, before slotting a pass through for his teammate, who scored one of the easiest goals he would ever score in his career.

The amazing show of skill by Mbappe did not go unnoticed, as it captured the attention of former Super Eagles captain Sunday Oliseh.

The 49-year-old took to social media to share his thoughts on the immense display of the PSG star.

Mbappe’s brilliant performance continues to elicit reactions from fans who are in awe of the forward's dazzling display.
