Paris Saint-Germain’s Marco Asensio scored his first goal for the club and Kylian Mbappe added two more to guide the Ligue 1 champions to a 3-1 victory over Lens in their clash at Parc des Princes on Saturday.

Asensio fired his side ahead moments before half-time from outside the box following a quick break, opening his account for his new club following a close-season transfer from Real Madrid.

Mbappe doubled the advantage in the second half when he rocketed a 20-metre shot into the back of the net. The France forward scored again late on for his third goal in two Ligue 1 games.
