Lionel Messi scored his 10th Ligue 1 goal of the season in Paris Saint-Germain's 2-1 win over Toulouse on Saturday.

The 35-year-old was without his famous co-stars for the game at the Parc des Princes as Kylian Mbappe and Neymar both missed out through injury.

Branco van den Boomen gave Toulouse a shock lead after 20 minutes but PSG hit back.

Achraf Hakimi drew PSG level shortly before half-time after being set up by Carlos Soler.

Hakimi then provided the assist for Messi to complete the turnaround with a fabulous long-range strike in the 58th minute.

Messi whipped a first-time finish past Maxime Dupe from 22 yards after Hakimi had dribbled into a congested area of the field.

Argentina captain Messi only scored six goals in 26 league games for PSG last season.

But it has taken him just 18 matches to reach 10 goals this season. Messi also has 10 Ligue 1 assists to his name this term.
