Ligue 1 Review: Monaco stun PSG, Nice climb to third

Monaco stunned newly crowned Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain by securing a 2-0 victory at the Parc des Princes on Sunday.

Brazilian duo Vagner Love and Fabinho both found the net in the second half, the latter from the penalty spot, as Leonardo Jardim's men became the first side to inflict a home league defeat upon PSG since May 2014.

Former Newcastle man Hatem Ben Arfa gave the hosts a first-half lead, before Alassane Plea made it 2-0 shortly after the hour-mark and Jean Seri added a third two minutes from time.

But their lead lasted only three minutes, as Axel Ngando headed home to secure a point for the mid-table Corsicans.
