ASM clearly dominated Strasbourg this Sunday at Louis-II (3-0). With the leadership in Ligue 1 at stake.

Winner in Clermont last week, with no less than four goals scored (2-4), Monaco made the powder talk again this Sunday evening as part of the second act of the championship. This time, it was Strasbourg who paid the price, in the Principality. With the credit of the ASM a good overall control and a great efficiency in front of the opposing goal.

Rather disappointing last season for his first year on the Rock, Minamino was the detonator and the great architect of this victory for the Monegasques. With a long shot and a well-adjusted header, the Japanese hit the mark twice to ensure the break for the locals in the first act (1-0, 20e ; 2-0, 36e).

After the break, it was again he who put Ben Yedder into orbit for the third Assemist goal (3-0, 58e) – already the third achievement this season for the tricolor international striker. Appeared solid and combative a week earlier against Lyon, the RCSA, without the support of Meinau, seemed much less threatening today. He will have to show more next Sunday against Toulouse while ASM will try to confirm his leadership in Nantes on Saturday.
