Aleksandr Golovin unleashed two powerful long-range strikes to help Monaco retain the lead in the French league by rallying past promoted Metz 2-1 on Sunday.
Monaco, the most prolific attack in the league this season, is one point clear of Nice and two points ahead of defending champion Paris Saint-Germain after the latest round of matches.
Metz had an opportunity to lead 2-1 in the 49th but Monaco goalkeeper Philipp Kohn denied Danley Jean Jacques, who was clean through on goal.Metz goalkeeper Alexandre Oukidja kept the scoreline respectable by saving a low strike from Takumi Minamino in the 63rd and an angled shot from Folarin Balogun in the 69th.
“Our start to the season is not at the level that we expected,” Rennes coach Bruno Genesio told Amazon Prime Video. “It’s only the ninth round, we shouldn’t draw definitive conclusions, but we will have to fix a lot of things, for sure, if we want to catch up with the top teams.” Rennes finished fourth in the last campaign but could struggle to replicate that form this season after failing to sign a defender in the summer.
