Title: Ben Yedder Scores Twice in Monaco's Thrilling Win Over Rennes

Monaco secured their place at the top of Ligue 1 with a resounding 3-1 victory over fellow title contenders Rennes on Sunday afternoon. The match was filled with thrilling moments and came down to the wire.

In the first half, it looked like Monaco would be able to hold on to their lead until the final whistle. However, Rennes found the back of the net early in the second half through a penalty kick from Maxence Lopès.

But that didn't deter Monaco's attacking prowess. Just four minutes later, they regained the lead thanks to a well-placed header by Brazilian forward Bruno Fernandes. The goal proved to be the turning point for Monaco, who continued to dominate possession and create chances throughout the rest of the game.

The win saw Monaco move into third place in the league table, just one point behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain. They now face a tough run-in against teams such as Marseille and Lille, but they will be buoyed by this crucial victory.

As for Ben Yedder, he played a key role in the victory. The French striker scored twice, both coming off the bench late in the match. He has been in sensational form recently, scoring eight goals in his last seven appearances for Monaco.

Yedder's performances have not gone unnoticed, with many pundits tipping him for a move away from Monaco in the summer transfer window. But for now, he is content to enjoy his time at Stade Louis II, where he has become a fan favourite with his impressive displays.

Overall, it was a fantastic day for Monaco, who continue to prove that they are one of the best sides in France. With Yedder continuing to score goals, there is no doubt that they will be a force to be reckoned with in the coming weeks.
