Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick as Paris St Germain thrashed 10-man Olympique Lyonnais 5-1 on Wednesday to reach the French Cup final and remain on course for a domestic treble.

Ligue 1 leaders PSG, who will also face Lyon in the League Cup final, prevailed thanks to Mbappe's treble and goals by Neymar and Pablo Sarabia after Martin Terrier had put the hosts in front early on.

PSG manager Thomas Tuchel said: “After the Dortmund match [where PSG lost the Champions League last-16 first-leg 2-1 in Germany), Mbappe has responded brilliantly. He uses his speed so intelligently … he is in good form.”

Lyon finished with 10 men after Fernando Marcal was sent off in the 61st minute after picking up a second yellow card, leaving his team to exposed with the scores level at 1-1.

PSG will take on holders Saint-Etienne or Rennes at the Stade de France on April 25.
