Ben Yedder scored twice as Monaco defeated Lille, 3-1, on Sunday afternoon. The match was the first round of the French Ligue 1 season and marked the return of the former Real Madrid striker to the club where he made history with his 226 goals.

Yedder's second-half double helped his side secure their first victory of the campaign, despite being behind at half-time. The Moroccan international, who joined Monaco from Juventus in January, has now netted 10 times this season, putting him among the top scorers in the league.

The win was a significant one for Monaco, who were looking to build momentum after losing to PSG in midweek. Yedder's contribution was crucial in securing the three points, as he proved to be a threat up front and provided the final touch in the game.

Overall, it was a positive start to the season for Monaco, who will hope to continue their winning run against teams like Paris Saint-Germain and Nice. With Yedder scoring so many goals, it is clear that the team is off to a strong start under new coach Lucien Favre.
