On Sunday evening, Ben Yedder scored twice as Monaco beat Strasbourg 3-1 in Ligue 1. The French striker's first goal was a stunning strike from outside the box that left goalkeeper Daniel Platte rooted to his feet. His second goal came after just four minutes of extra time when he headed home from close range.
The match was tense and closely contested throughout, with both teams creating chances but unable to find the back of the net until the final whistle blew. Monaco had their fair share of opportunities to take the lead, but it was Yedder who delivered the decisive blow.
After the game, Yedder spoke about his goalscoring form, saying: "It's always important to score goals, especially at this level. I'm happy with my performances so far this season and I want to keep up that form."
Yedder's two goals were also a personal milestone for him, as he now has 10 goals in all competitions for Monaco this season. He is currently joint-top scorer in Ligue 1 with 22 goals, behind only Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe.
Monaco manager Lucien Favre was delighted with the result, saying: "We knew it would be difficult against Strasbourg, but we managed to get the three points. It's good to see our players playing well together and scoring goals."
Overall, it was a great performance from Monaco and a positive result for the team. With Yedder continuing to score goals and the rest of the squad performing well, Monaco look set to challenge for honours come the end of the season.
