PSG takes group lead as Mbappe opens the scoring

Kylian Mbappe was on target as Paris St-Germain went top of Group F with a clinical win over AC Milan in the Champions League.

Mbappe opened the scoring against Milan in the 32nd minute with a driven shot into the bottom corner. Second-half goals from Randal Kolo Muani and Lee Kang-in secured all three points for the French champions, as per BBC reports.

PSG is now two points above Borussia Dortmund, who beat Newcastle 1-0 on Wednesday, in second.

Mbappe, who has now scored 13 goals in 13 matches for PSG and France this season, profited from a great run from 17-year-old Warren Zaire-Emery, wrong-footing Milan keeper Mike Maignan with his strike from the edge of the box.

Luis Enrique's side dominated and thought they had doubled their lead in the 48th minute, but Ousmane Dembele's fine curling finish was ruled out by the video assistant referee for a foul in the build-up.

Five minutes later PSG got their second after Dembele's strike was saved by Maignan but tapped in by Kolo Muani on the rebound. Maignan tipped a late Mbappe strike onto the post as the 2020 finalists finished strongly.

Substitute Lee Kang-in rounded off the victory with a side-footed strike after more good work from teenager Zaire-Emery.

Milan remain winless in the Champions League this season, bottom of Group F, with two points from their opening three matches.

Manchester City Keeps Flawless Champions League Record

Manchester City maintained their perfect Champions League record with a hard-fought win at Young Boys.

Erling Haaland scored twice in the second half, his first Champions League goal in six games, first with a penalty, then a fine curling effort. Reigning champions City had dominated proceedings and led in the 48th minute when Manuel Akanji tapped in.

The Swiss hosts pulled level shortly after through Meschack Elia's exquisite chip. But Haaland's 67th-minute penalty, followed by his second with four minutes remaining, ensured City remain top of Group G with nine points from three games.

"That is how it goes, if you don't take them chances it can be difficult," City defender Rico Lewis told TNT Sports. "In the end, the forwards took their chances and we won the game."

Pep Guardiola's side are now unbeaten in their past 16 Champions League matches, winning 10 and drawing six, with only Manchester United between 2007 and 2009 ever having a longer run without defeat among English teams in the competition.

They led when Switzerland defender Akanji netted in his homeland from close range after Ruben Dias' header was palmed onto the crossbar by Young Boys keeper Anthony Racioppi.

City were pegged back in style when Elia was set free with a direct through ball to perfectly lob the stranded Ederson.

But Rodri was caught on the ankle by a clumsy Mohamed Ali Camara lunge in the box, which allowed Haaland to slam home from the spot and seal all three points in Bern - before he added gloss to the scoreline.
