Kylian Mbappe scored a late VAR penalty to give Paris Saint-Germain a 2-1 win against Angers in Ligue 1 despite the absence of Lionel Messi and Neymar.

After Angelo Fulgini had given the away side the lead at the Parc des Princes, PSG had to come from behind, with Danilo Pereira headed in the equaliser midway through the second half.

With three minutes remaining, Mbappe scored decisively from the penalty spot after Angers defender Pierrick Capelle was penalized for a handball only detected by the referee after a review of the photos.

Mauricio Pochettino's PSG team were defeated at Rennes in their last game before the international break, but they have already won nine of their ten Ligue 1 games this season and are nine points ahead of Lens in second place.
