Mbappe scores fastest goal in 30 years (VIDEO)

The French football wonderboy needed just eight seconds to net for PSG against Lille

Kylian Mbappe went some way towards silencing his critics on Sunday by scoring the fastest Ligue 1 goal in 30 years for Paris Saint Germain when they demolished Lille 7-1 away.

The 2018 World Cup winner has been in the headlines for the wrong reasons as of late, with reports suggesting he and Neymar have clashed over Mbappe's support for the Brazilian possibly being sold.

Last weekend, the pair publicly locked horns over who took their team's penalties against Montpellier and were then rumored to have had an altercation backstage at the Parc des Princes where Sergio Ramos acted as peacemaker.

Mbappe was also widely-criticized for giving up on a counter attack when Vitinha passed the ball to Lionel Messi and not him in that 5-2 rout.

And though RMC Sport put this down to "personal issues", the 23-year-old seemed to have put those behind them by flying out of the tracks against 2020/2021 champions Lille at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

Set up by Messi, with the Ballon d'Or holder notching his second assist of the season, Mbappe took just eight seconds to ping the ball into Lille's net and went on to complete his hat trick in the second half with further strikes in the 66th and 87th minute.
