MONTPELLIER, France (AP) — Breel Embolo and Myron Boadu scored as fifth-place Monaco stretched its winning streak to five games to move within two points of the top three spots in the French league with a 2-0 victory over mid-table Montpellier on Sunday.
A few second before halftime, Wissam Ben Yedder fed Switzerland striker Embolo, who fired into the roof of the net for his fourth league goal this season.
Embolo was replaced in the 72nd by Dutch forward Myron Boadu, who doubled the lead by converting a low cross from Caio Henrique in the 80th minute.
The 10th round ends later Sunday with Brest vs. Lorient, Angers vs. Strasbourg, Nice vs. Troyes, Clermont vs. Auxerre, Rennes vs, Nantes, and Lille vs. Lens.
Leader Paris Saint-Germain drew with Reims 0-0 on Saturday to extend its lead over Marseille to three points.
