The Match

In their third game against Monaco this season, Paris quickly took control of the game as Vitinha scored a clever free-kick that surprised Majecki, Monaco's goalkeeper at the 6th minute of the game. Though the team's ball domination was excellent, Monaco remained dangerous and equalised 10 minutes later through Dennis Zakaria. This entertaining first half came to a close with both sides looking to score a decisive second goal.

This second goal came early in the second half as Kvaratskhelia was perfectly set up by Barcola for his first goal as a PSG player putting Paris ahead at the 54th minute. Less than three minutes later, Dembélé scored his 16th league goal of the season to give a decisive lead to his team, his second goal of the night would come at the 90th minute.

7 - Donnarumma

The italian keeper is in fantastic form at the moment, he pulled up an amazing save as Biereth looked to put Monaco ahead in the first half. His ball playing abilities improved dramatically.

6.5 - Joao Neves

The Portuguese put up a great performance as he played out of position.

6.5 - Marquinhos

Solid outing from the captain, his association with Pacho is key for the team.

6.5 - Pacho

Once again, a solid outing for Pacho. He came out on top in his duel with Biereth in the first half and cut many of Monaco's attack.

7 - Nuno Mendes

The left back had a great game and delivered a great assist for Dembélé's second goal.

6 - Fabian Ruiz

Good performance from the Spaniard, important in Paris' ball possession.

7 - Vitinha

A great performance for the Portuguese who just announced his contract extensio before the game. He scored a clever free-kick and remains an important piece of Luis Enrique’s system.

7 - Désiré Doué

Désiré Doué played an amazing game against Monaco, as a midfielder he constantly gave solutions to his strikers and was creating danger with his link up plays with Dembélé which led to Dembélé's first goal of the night.

7 - Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

Kvaratskhelia is still undoubtedly building chemistry with his teammates, but he is showing flashes of how good he is, which he did on his goal as he cleverly disposed of Monaco's defence. In a couple of weeks, the Georgian will certainly become a key player in Luis Enrique's system.

7 - Ousmane Dembélé

The Frenchman is just exceptional at the moment as his goalscoring form continues. He scored his 16th and 17th league goals in their clash against Monaco proving once again that he is a completely different player this year.

6.5 - Bradley Barcola

Solid performance from Barcola as he delivered an assist on Kvaratskhelia's goal, his new position as a right winger doesn't seem to impact him at all, with the offensive trio constantly switching position making them very dangerous for their opponents.
