Kylian Mbappe replaces Herve Revelli of St Etienne, who achieved the feat in 1969, as the youngest player to reach the 100-goal milestone in the French top flight
Kylian Mbappe scored twice as Paris St-Germain won 4-2 at Lyon to go top of Ligue 1.
The 22-year-old France striker's efforts either side of the break saw him become the youngest player to score 100 goals in the French top flight.
Mbappe opened the scoring from a tight angle, before Danilo Pereira made it 2-0 with a half-volley and Angel di Maria added a third early in the second half.
Mbappe netted again before Islam Slimani and Maxwel Cornet responded.
Victory lifts PSG to the summit on goal difference above Lille, who were beaten 2-1 at home by Nimes earlier on Sunday.
