Monaco striker Ben Yedder has secured his place as the club's top scorer for the season so far with two goals in consecutive matches against Nantes in Ligue 1 Round 2.

The French midfielder netted both goals during Monaco's impressive 4-0 victory at the Stade de France on Saturday, which marked his second consecutive double in the league. The first goal came in the 26th minute when he rifled past Nantes goalkeeper Guillaume Hoelzle from the edge of the box after receiving a perfectly placed pass from Antoine Griezmann.

Yedder continued to dominate the game and added another goal in the 87th minute, this time converting a penalty awarded after a handball by Nantes defender Jérôme Bogaardt. The goal was a powerful strike that sent the ball into the back of the net with ease, leaving the home crowd cheering loudly.

This double is significant for several reasons. Firstly, it continues Monaco's strong form under manager Leonardo Jardim, who has been praised for his ability to bring out the best in his players. Secondly, it highlights Yedder's exceptional form, with his goals coming in rapid succession and showcasing his ability to score in crucial moments of the game.

Overall, this performance shows that Ben Yedder remains one of the most dangerous forwards in Europe, capable of scoring consistently in high-pressure situations. With Monaco currently sitting fourth in the table, Yedder's performances have helped lift the team's spirits and put them in a good position for the rest of the season.
