Slimani scores brace as Strasbourg hold Monaco

Islam Slimani scored two goals in Monaco's 2-2 draw against Strasbourg in Sunday's Ligue 1 match.

Slimani, who joined Leonardo Jardim's men on a season-long loan from Leicester City this summer, extended his tally to three goals in two Ligue 1 games.

The Algeria international opened the scoring for Monaco at Stade de la Meinau in the 11th minute and later grabbed his brace in the 40th minute.

Slimani was in action for entire 90 minutes while Senegal's Keita Balde was introduced in the 85th minute and Nigeria's Henry Onyekuru came on as an 89th-minute substitute.
