MONACO: Wissam Ben Yedder fired Monaco out of the Ligue 1 mire on Sunday with a stoppage time winner that earned an entertaining 3-2 win over Rennes.
The last-gasp winner was Ben Yedder's eighth goal in as many league matches, putting him top of the Ligue 1 scoring charts and making fans forget Radamel Falcao's departure to Galatasaray. Monaco started the weekend in 16th but dropped into the relegation playoff places before Sunday's match. It seemed they would stay there once Balde's goal was rightly ruled out.The late goal means they are now level on 12 points with Toulouse, Amiens and 12th-placed Rennes, who have not won a match since August.However, a wonderful solo run and finish from Faitout Maouassa and Adrien Honou's tap-in put Rennes ahead just after the break.
"We came back to 2-2 when we could have lost, and that's good. It was hard work but often those matches are what do you good," added Ben Yedder.Denis Bouanga's stoppage time penalty at Bordeaux launched Puel's side into the top half of the table.
