French superstar Kylian Mbappe has joined English legend Geoff Hurst, as the only professional football players to net three goals in a world cup final.
West Ham and England legend Geoff Hurst had netted a hat trick in the 1966 world cup final against West Germany in a 4 -2 victory to retain the record for 56 years.
Following a 118th-minute equaliser against Argentina in the FIFA World Cup final in Qatar today, Kylian Mbappe would write his name in gold despite putting in a spirited effort and missing out on lifting the world cup.
Lionel Messi and Argentina would clinch the World Cup instead after proving most clinical in a tense penalty shootout.
