# Ben Yedder Nets Two Goals as Monaco Beats Montpellier 3-1, Season Goal Tally Reaches 10
In a thrilling encounter at Stade Louis II, Monaco produced a commanding 3-1 victory over Montpellier in Ligue 1, with Ben Yedder playing a pivotal role. The forward scored twice, taking his season tally to 10 goals, as Monaco extended their winning streak.
The match started at a high intensity, with both teams looking to impose their attacking styles. Montpellier, known for their defensive resilience, struggled to contain Monaco’s dynamic attack. Yedder opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a clinical finish, capitalizing on a defensive error. His second goal came in the 55th minute, slotting home after a well-executed through ball from Kevin Vardy.
Despite Montpellier pulling one back through a fine effort from Gaëtan Laborde, Monaco’s third goal sealed the deal. Wissam Ben Yedder, who has been in superb form this season, provided the assist for the final goal, showcasing his playmaking abilities.
Speaking after the match, Monaco’s manager, Philippe Clement, praised Yedder’s contribution: “Ben’s two goals were the difference-making moments. He’s a player who can decide games at crucial moments, and his work rate and creativity are invaluable.”
Yedder himself, when asked about his performance, simply smiled and said, “It’s always great to score, but the team effort is what matters most. We’re fighting for the top spots, and every point is crucial.”
This victory moves Monaco up to fourth place in the table, with 10 wins and 19 goals scored so far. With Yedder in such fine form, the club will be confident of maintaining their push for a European spot.
Montpellier, meanwhile, will need to regroup as they aim to challenge for a top-half finish. Their defensive vulnerabilities were exposed against Monaco, and they’ll need to address those issues ahead of their next game.
For now, the spotlight remains firmly on Ben Yedder and Monaco’s sensational attacking display. With the season winding down, the race for the top is far from over, and Yedder’s form will be key to Monaco’s success.
