Slimani sets personal record as Monaco edge Montpellier

Islam Slimani continued his impressive goalscoring form to inspire Monaco to a 1-0 victory against Montpellier in Friday’s Ligue 1 game.

After his fine performances against Amiens and Paris Saint-Germain, the Algeria international shone again at Stade Louis II, scoring the match-winning goal.

The on-loan Leicester City striker grabbed the solitary goal in the 52nd minute after benefitting from Aleksandr Golovin’s assist.

The Algeria international has now scored in each of his last three games, a first for him in his career.
