Zaire Emery and Mbappe goals stun Brest

PSG came out all guns blazing in the first half to sink Brest's hopes before the break. After a first few minutes in which Luis Enrique's team struggled to gain control of possession, the visitors took the lead in the 16th minute.

It was the great gem that 'Lucho' has in his squad, Zaire-Emery who, after dazzling against Milan, scored a wonder strike that the Brest goalkeeper could do nothing to save.

Barcola found the 17-year-old midfielder close to the edge of the box, and without thinking twice the young Frenchman beat Marco Bizot with a rocket that ended up into the top corner.

PSG doubled their lead 12 minutes later when Kang-in Lee and Kylian Mbappe linked up. From a Brest attacking move, the South Korean played an outside pass to the French striker, who once inside the box, cut back and, when everyone thought he was going to shoot to the far post, he beat the home side goalkeeper with a low effort to the near one.
