Paris St Germain took a decisive step towards a record 11th Ligue 1 title as Kylian Mbappe struck twice in a 2-1 win at relegation-threatened AJ Auxerre.
Mbappe was in sensational form, with his early double putting PSG in control, and brought the Les Bleus captain up to 28 league goals for the season.
Mbappe's double in the opening eight minutes moved PSG onto 84 points with two games left, six ahead of second-placed Lens with a much better goal difference (+50 to +34).
Mbappe was very close to grab a hat-trick with the last kick of the game as Vitinha finds him with a cross. But, the Frenchman cannot hit the target.
Christophe Galtier's side needs to avoid defeat at Strasbourg next Saturday to wrap up the title.
Auxerre, who are in 16th place on 34 points, one point above the relegation zone, travel to Toulouse in the penultimate round of matches.
