PARIS (AP) — United States forward Folarin Balogun was among the scorers as Monaco followed up its Champions League win against Barcelona with a 3-1 victory over Le Havre in the French league on Sunday.
Monaco won 2-1 against Barcelona on Thursday.
Fans at Stade Louis II enjoyed an early goal when right back Jordan Teze headed in Takumi Minamino’s cross. Daler Kuzyayev equalized in the 30th minute.
Eliesse Ben Seghir broke Le Havre’s resistance in the 66th with a fine finish, curling the ball into the top right corner. Balogun netted four minutes later after being set up by 18-year-old forward George Ilenikhena, who scored Monaco’s winner against Barca.
The win moved unbeaten Monaco level on 13 points with leader Paris Saint-Germain.
