Kylian Mbappé scored an audacious goal for Paris Saint-Germain against Lorient, but fans are wondering if he did it on purpose.

PSG were already leading 1-0 thanks to Ousmane Dembele when Mbappé found the net midway through the first half against Lorient. The French superstar took a ball from the left and flicked it past the goalkeeper to make it 2-0. At first glance, it’s a magnificent action, but the slow motion suggests that the Ile-de-France player may have had a little luck…

The Parisian prodigy’s goal left viewers perplexed and certainly not convinced that his flick was intentional.

The Bondynois followed his goal by offering an assist to Dembele, who scored his second goal of the match. The striker mystified his defender on the left flank before sliding a ball towards the cages for the former Barça star to catch with a tap. Mbappé scored twice later in the match, making the score 4-1.

The 2018 world champion became, in passing, the first French player in history to score 25 goals in four consecutive seasons in the five biggest European championships.
