Kylian Mbappe goal costs Jake Paul $3,000 as France lose World Cup final

Kylian Mbappe's equalising goal in extra-time cost YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul $3,000 as he offered fans the chance to win the cash prize.

Paul is known for handing out money on Twitter whilst sporting events are taking place and that was no different during Sunday's World Cup final as he promised one fan $3,000 if Mbappe was to score for the third time against Argentina. The French forward already had two goals under his belt, but his side was trailing by a goal in extra-time and needed a third to tie the game.

"$3K for one person if Mbappe scores a third time in extra time or penalty kicks. Like, retweet and follow," Paul tweeted before tagging his promotional company Most Valuable Promotions. Just minutes later, Mbappe got his third goal of the game by scoring a penalty in the 118th minute, meaning Paul was forced to stay true to his word and gift one fan $3,000.
