Kylian Mbappe has become Paris Saint-Germain's all-time top scorer at the age of just 24 after netting his 201st goal for the French champions.

Mbappe scored in added time to wrap up a 4-2 win over Nantes at the Parc des Princes and with it, the France forward surpassed Edinson Cavani to become the club's all-time top scorer outright.

After the match, the former Monaco attacker was presented with a trophy to mark the achievement.

Mbappe's 201 goals have come in just 247 appearances for the French champions. By comparison, Cavani netted his 200 in 301 games for the Parisian club.

PSG lead Marseille by nine points at the top of Ligue 1, with OM in action against Rennes on Sunday.

And in the Champions League, Mbappe will be key to the club's hopes of overturning a 1-0 first-leg deficit against Bayern Munich in Germany on Wednesday.

This season, the 24-year-old has scored 30 goals in 30 appearances for PSG.
