Mbappé regains his scoring appetite 

Kylian Mbappe regained his scoring appetite and led Paris Saint-Germain to continue the awakening by defeating its guest, Strasbourg 3-0, in the ninth stage of the French Football League, while Nice seized the lead by winning the South Derby against Marseille, 1-0. In the first match at the Parc des Princes stadium. Mbappe broke the jinx that had plagued him in the last four matches in the league and scored, opening the scoring in the tenth minute, before passing a decisive ball that was translated by Spaniard Carlos Soler into a second goal in the 31st minute, before the Spaniard scored. The other Fabian Royce scored the third goal in the 77th minute. Nice, the only unbeaten team in the French league, edged 10-man Marseille 1-0 with a late goal from substitute Evann Guessand to provisionally take the top spot on Saturday. Nice is one point clear of defending champion Paris Saint-Germain and two clear of Monaco. Kylian Mbappe scored from the spot and had an assist to fire PSG to a 3-0 win over Strasbourg earlier Saturday. Monaco can take the top spot back with a win over promoted Metz on Sunday. Marseille finished the game with 10 men after center-back Leonardo Balerdi received a second yellow card for a late tackle on Pablo Rosario in the 78th minute. The subsequent set piece led to the winning goal for Nice as Guessand met a free kick from Jeremie Boga to score with a powerful header in the 79th. A section of the stands of the Parc des Princes stadium was closed due to the punishment imposed by the disciplinary committee for anti-gay chants during Saint-Germain's 4-0 victory over Marseille in the sixth stage. On Sunday, Lorient will also meet Rennes, Nantes will meet Montpellier, Lille will meet Brest, Toulouse will meet Reims, and Lyon will meet Clermont-Ferrand.
