“We came here to win, we knew Lyon often cause problems for us,” Mbappe said.

“They are a good side,” he added.

Lyons consolation goals came from Substitute Islam Slimani, who pulled a fine strike on 62 minutes. Winger Maxwell Cornet’s 80th-minute strike made it 4-2 and the last on the six-goals thriller match.

Meanwhile, Mauricio Pochettino has revealed he is happy with his team’s performance after a 4-2 victory over Lyon. Pochettino says that it is important to finally be at the top of the table.

Pochettino spoke in the post-match interview about the Victory. He responded, “Yes, of course, it’s so important to be top of the table and we are still in all three competitions. We are so happy as the performance was really good and of course, we expect the team to keep going in this way in the future.”

Angel Di Maria and Idrissa Gueye also talked about the game in the post-Match interview.
