Monaco beat Reims 2-1 in their latest match, securing their fourth win of the season and maintaining their top spot in Ligue 1.
The match was a closely contested affair with both teams playing well throughout. Monaco had the better of the first half, creating numerous chances but failing to convert them into goals. However, they finally broke the deadlock in the second half when Anthony Modeste scored from close range after a well-placed cross by Benjamin Mendy.
Reims fought back valiantly in the second half, creating several chances of their own, but it was Monaco who took advantage of a mistake by their goalkeeper to double their lead. Moussa Dembélé scored his third goal of the season after being played through by Hakim Ziyech on the left wing.
Despite having a man sent off early on, Monaco were able to hold on for the full 90 minutes and secure all three points. The victory puts Monaco firmly at the top of the table and sets them up for a potentially difficult run of fixtures ahead.
Overall, this was another strong performance from Monaco, who continue to be one of the most consistent sides in Ligue 1. They will now look to build on this result as they face some tough opponents in the coming weeks.
