Monaco Beats Lyon 3-1 as Ben Yedder Scores Twice and Sets Personal Record with 10th League Goal

Monaco beat Lyon 3-1 in their Ligue 1 match on Sunday, with Ben Yedder scoring twice to set a personal record for the French striker. The win means that Monaco now sit second in the table, just one point behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain.

The game was a tight affair throughout, with both teams creating chances but unable to find the back of the net until the final minutes. However, it was Ben Yedder who finally broke the deadlock in the 84th minute, slotting home from close range after receiving a pass from Florian Thauvin.

Just two minutes later, Yedder doubled his tally by converting from the spot following a penalty awarded against Lyon. It was a stunning performance from the 29-year-old, who has been in fine form this season and has scored eight goals in his last six games.

Yedder's achievement is even more impressive given that he is currently playing for Monaco, where he joined from Real Madrid in January. He had previously scored five goals in just four matches for the Spanish club before joining the Ligue 1 champions.

The victory also marked a return to form for Monaco, who had lost three consecutive games prior to this match. The team will be hoping to continue their winning ways when they face Rennes next weekend.
