Ligue 1 is back after the winter break, and Ben Yedder's Monaco have secured their place at the top of the table with a stunning win over Strasbourg on Sunday.
The match was a tense affair, with both teams creating chances throughout the game. However, it was Monaco who eventually found the breakthrough in the 59th minute through a well-taken penalty from Yannick Carrasco.
The goal sent Monaco into second gear and they continued to dominate the rest of the match, scoring twice more before half-time to lead by two goals at the interval.
In the second half, Monaco continued to press for more goals, but Strasbourg were resilient and managed to hold out for the remainder of the match.
Despite the narrow defeat, Strasbourg will be proud of their performance against one of the league's best teams. The match was a good opportunity for them to show what they can do, and they should continue to build on this result as they look to improve their position in the standings.
Meanwhile, Monaco's victory is a huge boost for their campaign, and they now sit three points ahead of PSG in the league table. They will need to maintain this form if they want to secure their place at the summit of Ligue 1, but they are certainly capable of doing so.
Overall, Ben Yedder's Monaco have shown that they are still one of the top teams in France, and their recent performances suggest that they could challenge for the title come May. With such strong performers like Yedder and Ferran Torres, there is no doubt that Monaco will be a force to be reckoned with in the coming seasons.
