Monaco Crush Lille As Falcao Gets A Brace

Monaco captain Radamel Falcao scored twice as Monaco thrashed Lille 4-0, Stevan Jovetic opened the scoring after 24 minutes when he turned his defender on the edge of the box and fired home a low effort. Six minutes later Rachid Ghezzal doubled Monaco's lead as he met Almamy Toure's cross from the right at the back post.

The Colombian was on target after the break, a brilliant run down the left by Rony Lopes three minutes after half-time resulted in the Portugal midfielder's shot being saved by Mike Maignan, but Falcao was on hand to head in the rebound.

Falcao added a fourth from the spot with 17 minutes remaining after Brazilian full-back Jorge was brought down inside the area to leave Lille without a win since the opening day of the season.
