Kylian Mbappe became Paris Saint-Germain's all-time outright leading scorer by recording his 201st goal for the club on Saturday night.

The 24-year-old netted in added time to seal a 4-2 win over Nantes at the Parc des Princes.

That saw him move clear of fellow club legend Edinson Cavani on PSG's list of top goal-getters.

It has taken Mbappe just 247 games to score 201 PSG goals.

Cavani scored his 200 goals in 301 matches.

Mbappe finished Saturday's game wearing the captain's armband after regular PSG skipper Marquinhos had been subbed off.

Speaking to Canal Plus after the match, Mbappe said: "For me, as a native Parisian, this is special.

"If someone had said to me I would score the goal to beat the record while wearing the captain's armband, I would not have believed it."
