Ben Yedder scored twice as Monaco defeated Lille in the French Ligue 1 match at Stade Louis-II on Sunday to reach 10 consecutive seasons with at least one goal.
The victory was Monaco's third straight and saw them move up to second place in the table. The result also helped them close the gap on leaders Paris Saint-Germain, who lost 2-1 to Nice.
Yedder, who has been in excellent form this season, continued his impressive run with two goals in the first half, helping his side take control of the game.
He first struck in the 25th minute, finishing off a fine team move after good play from his teammates. Then he added another just before halftime, making it 2-0 in favor of Monaco.
Lille fought back in the second half, but their efforts were ultimately in vain as Monaco held on for the win.
The victory is a huge boost for Monaco, who have struggled recently. It also puts them within touching distance of PSG, who have won all three matches since the start of the month.
Overall, Ben Yedder's performance was key to Monaco's success on Sunday, and he will be hoping to continue his good form as they look to secure a top-four finish in the league.
