# Ben Yedder Shines as Monaco Dominates Ligue 1 Champions

Monaco delivered a commanding 3-0 victory over Ligue 1 champions, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), as Ben Yedder starred with a hat-trick. The match, held at Stade Louis II, showcased Yedder’s clinical finishing and solidified his status as one of the league’s most dangerous forwards.

Yedder opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a well-taken goal, capitalizing on a defensive error. His second goal came just before halftime, this time with a composed finish inside the box. The third goal, a stunning free-kick from 25 yards, sealed the deal as Yedder became the first Monaco player since Thierry Henry to score a hat-trick against PSG.

Despite PSG’s possession dominance, Monaco’s defense remained solid, limiting the visitors to few clear chances. Yedder’s performance not only highlighted his technical ability but also his leadership on and off the pitch, as he inspired his team to a much-needed victory.

Manager Philippe Clement praised Yedder’s contribution, stating, “Ben is a key player for us, and his goals today will give the team a lot of confidence. It’s a great win for us, especially against a strong opponent like PSG.”

With this win, Yedder has now scored 18 goals in total this season, solidifying his place as one of the standout performers in Ligue 1. Monaco’s victory also boosts their hopes of finishing in the top half of the league table, ending their recent struggles against PSG.

Yedder’s consistency and ability to deliver in crucial moments have made him a fan favorite, and this performance further cements his legacy as a prolific forward in French football. Monaco’s next game will be against Montpellier, with expectations high for another strong display.
