Decisive figure drives Monaco past Brest | OneFootball

Aleksandr Golovin struck in the 78th minute with a right-footed finish, as Monaco beat Brest 2-0. The midfielder had already forced two saves before the break.

He first drew a low stop from distance in the 35th minute. He then forced another save from the left side of the box after the restart (52.).

Still finding pockets between the lines, he was flagged offside as he tried to dart in behind (73.).

Golovin then arrived centrally to lash into the top left corner (78.) after Mamadou Coulibaly's pass. He finished with three shots on target, 12 successful final third passes and seven possession wins, underlining how he linked phases and kept Monaco on the front foot.

Because Les Rouge et Blanc positioned him between the lines, his dribbles and quick combinations unsettled Brest's midfield and ensured Monaco controlled the key moments.

Les Rouge et Blanc rise from seventh to fifth in Ligue 1. They visit Lyon next. Brest travel to Auxerre next.

How high would you rate Golovin's performance tonight?
