What Kylian Mbappe Did Before Saint-Etienne Penalty Is Genius

Kylian Mbappe is being hailed for the role he played in helping Alphonse Areola save a penalty.

Paris Saint-Germain may have dropped points last night against Saint-Etienne following the 1-1 draw, but the Ligue 1 leaders continue their march to the league title.

Saint-Etienne took the lead through Newcastle old boy Remy Cabella. He then had the chance to double his sides advantage from the spot.

But Cabella fluffed his lines as Areola saved his penalty with the aid of Mbappe.

The youngster brilliantly directed the PSG keeper who went the way he said, preventing Cabella from scoring again.

Mbappe's heroics got plenty of people talking.

Mystic Mbappe.
