Djiku and Waris feature as Strasbourg lose to nine-man Monaco

Majeed Waris and Aleksander Djiku were on display for Strasbourg on Sunday, but both men ended on the losing side of a 3-2 defeat by Monaco, who had two players sent off.

Both men have featured in every game for Le Racing this season but it has not been going well for the team. They had suffered defeats to Lorient, OGC Nice and Saint-Etienne, the streak finally ending with a 1-0 win at home to Dijon last time out.

That victory was only temporary relief as Monaco took a 2-0 lead in the first half on Sunday, first from a ninth-minute Wissam Ben Yedder strike, after the France striker of Tunisian descent combined with new recruit Kevin Volland.
