Balogun nets late penalty as Monaco come from behind to beat Ligue 1 rivals Lyon
AS Monaco came from a goal down to beat Lyon 2-1 away from home, recording a sixth consecutive Ligue 1 win for the first time since 2022, while the hosts six-match unbeaten league run came to a sorry end.
Monaco had scored a minimum of two goals in each of their last seven away matches, and their first chance to try and extend that run came 15 minutes in when Maghnes Akliouche ran onto an incisive through pass but had his effort smothered by Dominik Greif.
That sparked a response from Lyon, as Endrick tried his luck from range, forcing Lukas Hradecky to parry. The goalkeeper was then left rooted as Pavel Sulc’s header flew a whisker wide, before the Finn got down well to stop Orel Mangala’s curling effort.
