Kylian Mbappe scored his 14th Ligue 1 goal of the season as Monaco came from behind to beat Toulouse and go three points clear at the top of the table.

Swedish forward Ola Toivonen gave mid-table Toulouse the lead before defender Kamil Glik equalised with a header.

Mbappe, 18, put Monaco ahead with a first-time shot and winger Thomas Lemar made it 3-1 after Nabil Dirar’s cross.
