Monaco Extend Its Slump with Home Loss to Angers
Austrian manager Adi Hutter’s squad missed the chance to pressure the reigning champion at the start of matchday 10, as PSG hosts Lens on Saturday at the Parc des Princes.
Monaco extended its rough patch, losing to Angers (0-1) and marking its third straight match without a win in Ligue 1, leaving Paris Saint Germain, under Luis Enrique, unchallenged at the top of the table.
Monaco, which will visit Bologna on Tuesday for the fourth round of the Champions League where they've shown strong form, was unable to overcome the visitors’ early lead, scored after half an hour.
In the 29th minute, Ivorian Jean Eudes Aholou received a pass from Jim Allevinah and fired a shot from the edge of the box that went into the top corner past Polish goalkeeper Radoslaw Majecki.
The Monaco side struggled with precision and suffered its second consecutive loss after last weekend’s defeat to Nice, now trailing PSG by three points.
Angers, now unbeaten in four matches with two consecutive wins, has moved further away from the relegation zone.
