The French Ligue 1 club Monaco have secured their second consecutive victory after Ben Yedder scored twice in the match against Rennes, taking his goal tally for the season to 15. The 28-year-old striker has been one of the standout performers this season and has helped Monaco maintain their position at the top of the league.
Yedder's first goal came in the 44th minute as he headed home from a corner kick, before adding another in the 69th minute with a powerful strike from outside the box. His two goals were enough to secure a comfortable win for Monaco, who now sit two points clear of Paris Saint-Germain at the top of the table.
The victory was also a morale booster for the team, who had recently suffered a disappointing defeat to Nice. Yedder's two goals have put him firmly on track to surpass the 20-goal mark that he set last season, which would be a significant achievement given the level of competition in Ligue 1.
The match against Rennes was a crucial one for both teams, as it saw them face off for the title. However, Monaco's performance showed that they have the quality to compete with any team in the league, and they will look to continue their winning ways going forward.
