Only three days after the spanking received against the Brugge club in the Champions League (4-1), AS Monaco managed to rebound this Sunday in the league. With them, Adi Hutter's men were scared against FC Metz, but the entry into the game of a year Fat Double scorer changed the situation and allowed them to win fairly largely (5-2, 5th day of Ligue 1). At the same time, Auxerre won it in numerical inferiority against Toulouse (1-0) and Le Havre shared the points with Lorient (1-1).
Without Denis Zakaria, injured and absent at least two months, Monaco knew himself waited at the turn. The club of the rock had the advantage of receiving the red Messina lantern, however. And yet … it is the visitors who will open the brand from the thirteenth minute of play through Habibou Diallo (0-1). The Monegasques will respond and equalize thanks to Mika Biereth (1-1, 28th). What limit the breakage before the break.
And it is on the return from the locker room that Ansu Fati will enter. Barely a few seconds in the second period than the player loaned by FC Barcelona will highlight himself and score his first goal in Ligue 1, three days after his first achievement with ASM in C1 (2-1, 46th). But once again, Metz will put the pressure back and obtain a penalty transformed by Gauthier eh (2-2, 67th). It will nevertheless be the last start of the Lorrainers who will explode defensively at the end of the match, collecting three goals in ten goals. Ansu Fati for a double (3-2, 83rd), then a CSC of poor Koffi Kouao (4-2, 86th) and finally a final pawn, signed George Ilenikhena (5-2, 90th+3).
Monaco passes second, Auxerre is tenth
The best offensive for the players of the rock, but there is still a lot of work to solidify a rear base always as disturbing and a midfielder often lacking in imagination. The main thing remains the victory and Monaco passes in front of Lyon unlike goals to occupy second place in the ranking. Metz remains desperately last with a point in five games.
In the other two games which took place at the same time, AJ Auxerre managed to take the advantage against Toulouse thanks to Danny Namaso (1-0, 45th+2). Téfecé lacked a penalty at the very start of the game, missed by Frank Magri (3rd). Reduced to ten in the 64th minute after the direct red of Fredrik Oppaard, Auxerre saved the three points and finds himself tenth, just behind Toulouse who has the same number of points but a better difference in goals. Finally, Le Havre and Lorient failed to separate. If Abdoulaye Touré has missed a Le Havre penalty in the 4th minute, Aiyeun Tosin opened the brand for the Merlus (0-1, 21st) before the Soumaré Eglifies for Le Havre (1-1, 47th). In the standings, the Normans are fifteenth and lorient seventeenth.
