AS Monaco defeats Lorient

It was a return to 4-4-2 rather than the 4-2-3-1 seen in recent weeks. Two alterations can be seen in Philippe Clement's starting lineup from the trip to Nantes in addition to the system. Youssouf Fofana, who had been out on suspension, was reinstated, as was Kevin Volland, who partnered with Wissam Ben Yedder in the attack.

At the beginning of the game, the Rouge et Blanc were superior in many ways, but they kept pushing and didn't hesitate to play with a high degree of pressing. The second goal was scored right on one of these. Youssouf Fofana recovered the ball and passed it to Wissam Ben Yedder, who was playing in the Tsar at the left side of the area, 30 metres from the opponent goal. He did not think twice to score against Vito Mannone, giving him seven goals for the year.
