"Maghnes Akliouche and Aleksandr Golovin had the hosts two up and, although Bradley Barcola reduced the deficit, Folarin Balogun made sure of Monaco's win in what was the 100th meeting between the two in Ligue 1."
"The visitors took the lead in the 27th minute when Zakaria dispossessed Warren Zaire-Emery in the penalty area and Balogun laid off for Akliouche to finish from close range off the right post."
"Monaco stunned PSG again in the 55th minute when Golovin found the bottom-right corner from 18 yards, and he nearly made it 3-0 with an arrowed effort towards the top-right corner that Matvei Safonov did brilliantly to tip wide."
"Barcola arrowed a volley wide shortly before dragging PSG back into the game when his cushioned effort deflected home via Jordan Teze, but Balogun's long-range effort clipped off Mendes to restore Monaco's cushion just two minutes later, with PSG now just four points above Lens having played a game more."
