Neymar and Mbappe scored a goal in each half, to bring the French champions 13 points from 5 games, ahead of the goal difference over Olympique Marseille and Lens.
Third-placed Marseille beat Clermo 1-0 at home thanks to Pape Guy’s goal, while Lens continued his usual attractive performances to harden at home to Lorient and win 5-2 in a match in which Florian Sotoka scored two goals.
Olympique Lyonnais, who has a game in hand, occupies fourth place with 10 points, after beating its guest, newly promoted Auxerre, in the top-flight league 2-1.
In Toulouse, Lionel Messi came close to scoring in the 25th minute with a low shot following a pass from Neymar inside the penalty area, but his attempt found Maxim Doby on the lookout.
But the goalkeeper could not do anything in the 37th minute, when Neymar received a through pass from Messi and hit the ball into the net, to give Paris Saint-Germain the lead.
Neymar’s seventh goal this season raised his score during his career to 109 goals with Saint-Germain, which pushed him to fourth place in the club’s historical scorers list, along with Portuguese Pedro Pauleta.
Mbappe doubled the yield 5 minutes after the start of the second half, when he took advantage of Messi’s cut in the penalty area to score his fifth goal in the league.
Goalkeeper Doby continued to defend his goal brilliantly, which confirmed the continuation of Toulouse in the atmosphere of the match, but Juan Bernat’s stoppage-time goal from close range ended the hopes of the hosts to return with the result.
