On Saturday night, Ben Yedder scored twice as Monaco secured a comfortable 3-1 victory over Strasbourg in Ligue 1. The forward's two goals helped the Principality club maintain their lead at the top of the table and further cement their position as one of the most formidable teams in France.
Yedder's first goal came in the 42nd minute when he headed home from a corner kick to give Monaco a deserved lead. His second goal arrived just five minutes later when he finished off a well-worked team move to make it 3-0. Yedder's impressive performance was a testament to his form this season, with the striker now having reached double figures for goals in all competitions.
The victory marked a positive start to the season for Monaco, who have struggled in recent years to compete at the top level of French football. However, with Yedder continuing to perform at such a high level, the team has shown that they have what it takes to challenge for honours come the end of the campaign.
Yedder's performances have also been praised by his teammates and managers alike, with coach Lucien Favre describing him as "a true professional". With his personal tally now reaching 10 goals, Yedder is showing no signs of slowing down and could be set for a bright future in European football.
Overall, Yedder's hat-trick against Strasbourg was a significant moment in Monaco's season, and it will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the highlights of the opening round of fixtures. With his continued excellent form, there is every chance that Yedder will continue to contribute to Monaco's success on both domestic and international levels.
