Watch: PSG Left-Back Layvin Kurzawa Scores A Hat-Trick

A PSG player scored a hat-trick at the Parc Des Princes as the Ligue One leaders secured qualification to the knockout stages against Anderlecht tonight but it wasn't Neymar, Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe.

No, it was in fact left-back Layvin Kurzawa who took the match ball after scoring three brilliant goals in the second half in a 5-0 rout for Unai Emery's men.

The former Monaco man notched his first just after half-time in the 52nd to make it 3-0, before adding a further two in the 72nd and 78th minute.

Kurzawa became only the second PSG player to score a Champions League hat-trick, joining Zlatan Ibrahimovic in achieving the feat. What's more, he is the only defender to score a hat-trick in Europe's premier club competition.

Here's how Twitter reacted to the utter madness of a defender bagging three goals:

A very special night for Layvin Kurzawa!
