Paris St-Germain left it late to beat relegation-threatened Brest and extend their advantage at the top of Ligue 1. Carlos Soler had set PSG on course for a perfect night when he bundled home after Kylian Mbappe saw a shot parried.
The hosts soon scored a surprise leveller and mostly stifled the leaders’ search for a winner.
But Mbappe rescued the spoils in the 90th minute as he rounded the goalkeeper before coolly slotting home.
PSG were looking to get back to winning ways after being knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich on Wednesday, but made seriously hard work of it.
They were expectedly dominant for the vast majority of the game and recorded 17 shots to Brest’s seven.
The French champions continually lacked the cutting edge in the final third as they faced a spirited defensive performance from the hosts, but toiled to the end to find the win.
The result sees PSG lead Ligue with Brest one point off relegation with an extra match played.
