Mbappe Leads Race For The Golden Boot After Brace v Poland

Kylian Mbappe’s brace against Poland last night means that the 23-year-old leads the race for the Golden Boot. The PSG forward now leads all goalscorers in Qatar with five goals, two more than the rest of the pack in the hunt for the award.

His performance overshadowed Olivier Giroud becoming France’s all-time leading goalscorer after scoring his 52nd goal as the two forwards led France to a 3-1 victory over Poland on Sunday. Les Bleus will now face England in a mouthwatering quarterfinal clash on Saturday.

Mbappe has now scored 9 World Cup goals in his career with four coming in the 2018 World Cup.
