Monaco stun Paris Saint-Germain with clinical finishing | OneFootball

Match in Five Sentences: Paris Saint-Germain were beaten 3-1 by Monaco at the Parc des Princes. Maghnes Akliouche put the visitors ahead in the 27th minute after Folarin Balogun's hold-up play. After the break, substitute Aleksandr Golovin doubled the lead (55.), Bradley Barcola replied (71.) and Balogun restored the cushion (73.). PSG had 72.1% possession and 19 attempts, but Les Rouge et Blanc hit the target six times from 11 shots and made it count. Les Rouge et Blanc rise from seventh to fifth and host Brest next, while PSG host Chelsea in the Champions League next.

Player of the Match: Folarin Balogun drove the win with a goal and an assist, adding a tackle and four recoveries to cap a standout centre-forward display.

Stat of the Match: Les Rouge et Blanc registered six shots on target from 11 attempts, a ruthless edge that outweighed PSG's 72.1% possession.

Three Things We Learned: Vitinha completed 106 of 114 passes and dictated PSG's tempo, but control did not translate into enough clear chances. Achraf Hakimi recorded his first Ligue 1 assist of the season, supplying the cut-back for Barcola. Golovin's instant impact off the bench continued Les Rouge et Blanc's super-sub theme, and they are up to fifth in the table.
