It took less than one hour for Paris Saint-Germain to see a return on its investment in Kylian Mbappe.

On Friday, Mbappe made his anticipated debut for PSG and tallied his first goal in Les Parisiens' shirt, rocketing the ball past Eiji Kawashima in the 59th minute of the club's Ligue 1 game at FC Metz. The teenage forward scored only four minutes after Benoit Assou-Ekotto was controversially shown a red card for a tackle on the product of AS Monaco, which left Les Grenats with 10 players.

Mbappe's goal opened the floodgates at the Stade Saint-Symphorien. Neymar fired home a shot in the 69th minute and Edinson Cavani scored his second of the night in the 75th minute, pouncing on a loose ball in Metz's penalty area. In other words, all three members of PSG's attacking trident found the back of the net.
