Ethan Mbappe scored a late equaliser against his former club as Lille held leaders Paris St-Germain to a draw in Ligue 1.
The 18-year-old was released by PSG in 2024, the same summer his brother Kylian left the club for Real Madrid.
Kylian, now 26, is PSG’s all-time top scorer with 256 goals in 308 games. Ethan played five times for the club without scoring.
And the older Mbappe has said he would have signed a new deal with PSG if Ethan had asked him to.
Defending champions PSG took the lead on Sunday when substitute Nuno Mendes flashed in a sensational free-kick from 25 yards.
But Ethan Mbappe, who had only been on the pitch for four minutes, levelled late on with a clinical finish into the bottom corner from 16 yards.
It was the second goal of his career, having also netted a late goal against Toulouse last month.
He did his brother’s trademark crossed-arm celebration as Kylian cheered from the stands.
Kylian had played for Real Madrid on Saturday, scoring his 58th goal for the club in a 3-1 win over Villarreal.
