Lyon 2-4 PSG: 5 hits and flops as reigning champions go atop the league table | Ligue 1 2020-21

Hit: Keylor Navas (PSG)

Keylor Navas

Keylor Navas was one of the standout performers for PSG on the night. The Costa Rican made five saves in the game; some of them were absolutely stunning.

The former Real Madrid goalkeeper ensured that Lyon did not have any chance of a comeback. Although he conceded twice, there was nothing Navas could have done to keep those efforts out.

Flop: Anthony Lopes (Lyon)

Anthony Lopes

Anthony Lopes conceded four goals against PSG. Although there could have been more, Lopes could have done better.

It is true the Portuguese had no real help from his defenders, and he did make some good saves. But he could have done better for two of the four goals scored by PSG.

Lopes failed to judge Di Maria's free-kick and allowed it to creep in. Moreover, he could have done better to deal with Marco Verratti's attempt early on in the first half, which was eventually tucked in by Mbappe.

Hit: Kylian Mbappe (PSG)

Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring on the night as he slotted one in from a tight angle to give PSG the lead. The Frenchman completed his brace early on in the second half when he combined well with Verratti to put the visitors firmly on the ascendancy.

In the process, Mbappe became the youngest player to score 100 goals in the Ligue 1. He is now four clear of Memphis Depay (14) atop the season's goal-scoring charts.
