Masterpiece Goal

Monaco this year, for the first time in three seasons, may be left without Ligue 1 medals. After 34 rounds, the Monegasques are in fourth place, and the club has not been doing very well lately. Before the away game with Angers, the team lost two matches in a row, greatly releasing the leaders of the standings.

Before the game against Angers, he had seven goals and the same number of assists.

The away game in Angers was difficult for the Russian team. The brilliant game of goalkeeper Alexander Nubel helped the Monegasques to keep their goal intact, and Monaco could not score for a long time.

Golovin interrupted the scoring drought, and he did it brilliantly. The midfielder struck in touch from outside the penalty area after a pass from Wanderson. The ball flew right into the far corner. Angers goalkeeper Paul Bernardoni did not even try to save the team, dumbfounded by surprise.
