With older brother Kylian Mbappé proudly looking on, teenager Ethan Mbappé struck a late equalizer against his former club on Sunday as Lille held injury-hit Paris Saint-Germain to a 1-1 draw.

Despite sharing the points, PSG returned to the top of the French league. It's one point clear of a trio of challengers — Marseille, Strasbourg and Lyon.

Both Mbappé brothers left PSG in the summer of 2024. While Kylian crossed the border to join Real Madrid in the Spanish league, Ethan remained in France and signed a three-year deal with Lille. The technically gifted, left-footed 18-year-old midfielder was hampered by injuries last season but has been in great shape recently.

Kylian Mbappé was in the stands at Lille's stadium and did not hide his joy when his brother leveled the score. The teenager marked his second goal of the season by mimicking his brother's trademark celebration — arms crossed over his chest, hands tucked under his armpits.

He scored after coming on as a substitute with only nine minutes left to play. He was set up on the right side of the box and fired a low, left-footed strike to beat goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier in the 85th.

In a match with few chances, PSG had taken the lead in the 66th minute through Nuno Mendes. Widely regarded as one of the finest left backs for his rock-solid defensive displays, the Portugal player showcased his exquisite ball touch with a curled free kick into the top corner.

Brazilian striker Emersonn scored two late goals as Toulouse came from behind to win 2-1 at Lyon.

Lyon led until the 87th minute but slumped to a second defeat this season after Emersonn first leveled the scoring with a powerful shot that took a deflection, then snatched the winner in added time with a header.

Lyon had dominated proceedings in the first half and had deservedly taken the lead in the 24th minute after a superb collective move started from the back and finished by Belgian forward Malick Fofana.

Fourth-placed Lyon has 15 points from seven games. Toulouse moved up to ninth place, five points behind.

Second-placed Marseille won at rock-bottom Metz 3-0 to notch a fourth straight win in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

Strasbourg thrashed Angers 5-0 despite several absences. Joaquín Panichelli scored twice for the visitors and is now joint top scorer in the league alongside Monaco’s Ansu Fati, with both players having netted five goals each. Martial Godo also scored twice for third-placed Strasbourg.

The Riviera derby between Monaco and Nice ended in a 2-2 draw.

Nice went 2-0 up as Sofiane Diop hurt his former club with a brace in the first half. But Nice was reduced to 10 men in the 34th minute following Ali Abdi's red card. Fati, who is on a season-long loan from Barcelona, scored twice from the spot for the hosts.

Also, Rennes drew 2-2 at Le Havre.

A Ukrainian drone strike killed one person and wounded three others in the Russian city of Voronezh, local officials said Sunday.

A young woman died overnight in a hospital intensive care unit after debris from a drone fell on a house during the attack on Saturday, regional Gov. Alexander Gusev said on Telegram.

Three other people were wounded and more than 10 apartment buildings, private houses and a high school were damaged, he said, adding that air defenses shot down 17 drones over Voronezh. The city is home to just over 1 million people and lies some 250 kilometers (155 miles) from the Ukrainian border.

The attack came the day after Russia bombarded Ukraine with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles overnight into Friday, killing at least four people in the capital Kyiv, according to Ukrainian officials.

For only the second time in the nearly four-year war, Russia used a powerful new hypersonic missile that struck western Ukraine in a clear warning to Kyiv and NATO.

The intense barrage and the launch of the nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile followed reports of major progress in talks between Ukraine and its allies on how to defend the country from further aggression by Moscow if a U.S.-led peace deal is struck.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday in his nightly address that Ukrainian negotiators “continue to communicate with the American side.”

Chief negotiator Rustem Umerov was in contact with U.S. partners Saturday, he said.

Separately, Ukraine’s General Staff said Russia targeted Ukraine with 154 drones overnight into Sunday and 125 were shot down.
