Decisive figure's set-piece punch lifts Monaco over Le Havre | OneFootball

Eric Dier settled Monaco's 1-0 win at Le Havre with a towering header in the 14th minute.

He met Flávio Nazinho's cross following a corner with a glancing header into the roof of the net (14.).

From there, Dier anchored the back line as Les Rouge et Blanc absorbed pressure, attacking deliveries in his area and clearing danger whenever the hosts loaded the box.

He finished with 10 clearances, four aerials won and one blocked shot, a numbers line that underlined how he controlled his penalty area under a steady stream of service.

With Le Havre slinging in 32 crosses, his positioning and timing repeatedly broke up attacks and ensured Les Rouge et Blanc protected their lead.

Les Rouge et Blanc host Górnik in the UEFA Conference League next. Le Havre visit Lyon next.

How high would you rate Dier's performance tonight?
