Kylian Mbappé-owned Caen outgun leaders Rouen 3-2 to reignite Ligue 3 hopes | OneFootball

Caen edged neighbours Rouen 3-2 on Thursday, defeating the Ligue 3 leaders to reaffirm their ambitions.

According to L'Équipe, summer changes at the club owned by Kylian Mbappé are paying off, and supporters are starting to dream again.

After a mediocre campaign in the National last season, when they finished eighth, Stade Malherbe have looked far sharper, with five wins and three defeats since the restart.

The victory left Caen provisionally second in Ligue 3, keeping momentum with the early pacesetters.

On the Normandy coast, lingering summer warmth drew students into the city centre in the afternoon and fans to the D'Ornano in the evening, adding to a buoyant mood.
