On Sunday, Monaco defeated Rennes 3-2 in a thrilling match at the Stade Louis-II. The result was a testament to the skill and determination of both teams, but it was particularly impressive for Monaco striker Benjamin "Ben" Yedder.
Yedder has been in fine form this season, scoring eight goals in his first 11 games for Monaco. He scored twice on Sunday, including a stunning strike from outside the box that left Rennes goalkeeper Hugo Lloris with no chance. His second goal came late in the second half, as he collected a pass from Thiago Mendes and volleyed the ball into the top corner.
But Yedder's performance was not just about his goals - it was also about his leadership. He was dominant throughout the game, dominating the midfield and creating chances for his teammates. He was also a key player in Monaco's transition play, constantly moving the ball forward and finding space for his team-mates.
The victory was a big boost for Monaco ahead of their upcoming matches against Paris Saint-Germain and Lille. It also provided some much-needed confidence for Yedder, who has struggled with form in recent months. With his performances like this one, he is well on his way to becoming one of the most prolific strikers in French football.
