Neymar, Kylian Mbappe Rescue PSG with Late Goals to Top Montpellier in Ligue 1

Neymar scored in successive matches for the third time this season on Saturday when Paris Saint-Germain triumphed 3-1 at 10-man Montpellier, coming from a goal down to continue their imperious league form.

The Brazilian started a third consecutive league match and initially struggled to impose his will in a physical contest at the Stade de la Mosson, but a second-half piece of genius redeemed the forward.

PSG went in 1-0 down at half-time following an own goal from Leandro Paredes. Neymar's superb 20-yard free-kick pulled the visitors back level with 15 minutes to go, and he helped the turnaround by assisting Kylian Mbappe to lead for the first time.
