Montpellier striker Akor Adams scored twice in Round 10 to move into second place in the scoring charts as Kylian Mbappé continued his return to goalscoring form with a brace of his own in PSG's dramatic win at Brest.
Adams – a summer signing from Norwegian side Lillestrom – fired his sixth goal of the season after getting on the end of Téji Savanier's pinpoint pass to put Montpellier in front against Toulouse at the Stade de la Mosson.
And the Nigerian was at it again 18-minutes from time to finish off Carles Martinez's men after good work from Joris Chotard, as he moved up to seven goals for the season.
Mbappé magic
Despite Adams' heroics, Mbappé remains the man to beat after his double in PSG's 3-2 win at Brest. The 24-year sensation fired the reigning champions in front at Stade Francis Le Blé with his trademark near-post finish, similar to his midweek Champions League strike against AC Milan.
Mbappé fired PSG's winner and his tenth goal of the season when quick reactions handed him a second bite at the cherry after his initial penalty was saved by Marco Bizot.
Florian Sotoca found the net for the first time since the opening day of the season as his double in Lens' 4-0 destruction of Nantes, took his tally up to three goals. The 33-year-old kept a cool head to fire Les Sang et Or in front in the 27th minute.
And the forward was given the opportunity to do it all again 18-minutes from time when Nantes defender Jean-Charles Castelletto was penalised for handball.
Next up..
Mbappé and Paris Saint-Germain host Adams and Montpellier on Friday evening with both players looking to add to their already impressive totals.
Five-goal Wissam Ben Yedder can get back to scoring ways when Monaco entertain Brest and Mostafa Mohamed will hope to get himself on the scoresheet for Nantes when Reims visit the Stade de la Beaujoire.
