# Monaco's Ben Yedder Scores in Consecutive Matches as They Edge Nantes 3-2 in Ligue 1

Monaco produced a thrilling performance to secure a 3-2 victory over Nantes in a high-octane Ligue 1 clash on Sunday. The match was a rollercoaster encounter, filled with drama, and ultimately highlighted the growing influence of Ben Yedder, who scored in consecutive matches.

The game started at a brisk pace, with both sides creating chances. Nantes took an early lead through a well-taken goal, but Monaco responded swiftly. Ben Yedder, who had already netted in his previous match against Lorient, proved decisive again, slotting home a penalty to level the score. His goal not only brought Monaco back into the game but also marked the beginning of a remarkable comeback.

As the first half drew to a close, the scores were locked at 1-1. The second half saw both teams push for a winner, and the tension was palpable. Nantes thought they had taken the lead again when a goal was controversially disallowed for offside, but Monaco’s persistence paid off. Ben Yedder once again proved to be the hero, drilling a low shot past Nantes’ goalkeeper to put his team ahead for the first time.

Despite the lead, Monaco’s defense remained cautious, and Nantes refused to back down. A late equalizer from a clinical counter-attack sent the away fans into raptures, but Monaco’s never-say-die attitude shone through. In the final minutes, Ben Yedder completed his consecutive goals, this time with a stunning strike from outside the box that sealed the victory for the hosts.

The win, Monaco’s third consecutive triumph, showcased the team’s growing confidence and ability to handle pressure. Ben Yedder, who now has four goals in his last three matches, was praised by his manager Philippe Clement for his composure and contribution. “Ben is a key player for us, and his goals are crucial,” Clement said after the match.

The match also highlighted the importance of teamwork, with other key performers like Cesc Fàbregas and Aurélien Tchouameni playing pivotal roles in the victory. Monaco’s defense, led by the seasoned Kevin Vardy, held firm under intense pressure to ensure the three points stayed at Stade Louis II.

As the final whistle blew, the players and fans celebrated a well-deserved win. For Ben Yedder, the goal of the match was a testament to his growing influence on the team. With Monaco now sitting comfortably in the top half of the Ligue 1 table, the future looks bright for this resurgent side.

This victory, and Ben Yedder’s consecutive goals, will no doubt be a talking point in French football for some time to come. Monaco has sent a clear message: they are here to stay, and they mean business.
