Kylian Mbappe equals Pele's long-standing World Cup record as France aim for history

Kylian Mbappe produced another virtuoso performance to equal a long-standing World Cup record held by the all-time great Pele.

Mbappe netted twice to fire France to a deserved 2-1 victory over Denmark to seal their place in the knockout stages in Qatar. The Paris Saint-Germain striker scored either side of an Andreas Christensen header to secure the victory for Les Bleus.

The superstar striker is enjoying this World Cup, having already found the back of the net in France's opening-game 4-1 victory over Australia earlier this week. It means he has bagged three goals at this tournament and is just one goal shy of equalling his tally from 2018.
