Ligue 1

Kylian Mbappe was among the substitutes as Monaco beat Nancy 3-0 to move a step closer to becoming Ligue 1 champions.

Monaco took a giant step towards the Ligue 1 title by beating relegation-threatened Nancy 3-0 at Stade Marcel Picot on Saturday.

Leonardo Jardim's league leaders are three points clear of Paris Saint-Germain with a game in hand and a far superior goal difference, meaning a victory in one of their remaining three games will all-but secure the club its first title in 17 years.

Nancy went into the game on a dreadful run of form and they went behind after just three minutes when Tobias Badila put the ball past his own goalkeeper and Bernardo Silva doubled Monaco's lead with a headed goal five minutes before half-time.
