AS Monaco 1-3 Stade de Reims: Monaco dispatched by clinical visitors

AS Monaco lost 3-1 at home to fifth-placed Reims in Ligue 1 on Saturday, missing an opportunity to close the gap on the leaders.

Monaco remains third with 33 points, seven points behind leaders Paris St Germain and two behind Nice.

Teddy Teuma opened the scoring for the visitors after 35 minutes, shooting into the top corner from outside the box.

Wissam Monaco's Ben Yedder equalised four minutes into the second half with a close-range header, but Reda Khadra put Reims back ahead in the 55th minute by weaving through the defence and slotting the ball home from a tight angle.

Azor Matusiwa added a third goal for Reims in extra time.

The top two will have the opportunity to widen the gap with Monaco when Nice visits Stade Rennais later on Saturday, while PSG plays Lens on Sunday.
