It took just four minutes for Monaco to take the lead as Golvin slotted home from close range after some fine work by Youssouf Fofana down the right channel. It was the Russian footballer’s fifth goal of the season. The Red and Whites doubled the lead fourteen minutes later, after Krepin Diatte dispossessed 17-year-old PSG left-back El Chadaille Bitshiabu, on the edge of his own box and Ben Yedder made no mistake as he slotted home past the visiting goalkeeper Gianluiggi Donarumma and into the far bottom corner. Monaco were in complete control of the match and all over the Parisians, but the league-leaders managed to pull one goal back, against the run of play.
Juan Bernat’s low cross from the left flank was tapped in by Zaire-Emery at the far post. It was the 16-year-old’s first ever top flight goal. Meanwhile, Ben Yedder restored Monaco’s two-goal lead with a fine strike on the stroke of half-time. After the break, Le Rocher held on to the lead and secured their 14th top flight victory of the season. PSG, on the other hand, find themselves just five points clear of second-placed Marseille, who beat Clermont foot 2-0 in the other match of the day. Christopher Galitier’s side are set to host Bayern Munich in the first leg of Champions League last-16 on Tuesday and this is not the kind of preparation they hoped for.
Twitter was buzzing as the people were going crazy about PSG losing to Monaco in the Ligue 1. Lets see some tweets and memes from some fans from all over the world.
Warren Zaïre-Emery, 16 seulement va remercier seul les supporters du PSG qui ont faire le déplacement à Monaco. RESPECT !👏
