Monaco come from two down to snatch point against Auxerre

[p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/monaco/2PIvr8o4/"]Monaco[/a] were clearly still rocked by their 4-1 humbling at [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/paris-fc/0OEHEprs/"]Paris FC[/a] last time out as [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/auxerre/MTLr36WA/"]Auxerre[/a] took the lead with their first shot of the game.[/p][p][b]A corner was cleared to the edge of the box to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/danois-kevin/GGj5ySgp/"]Kevin Danois[/a], and he superbly volleyed into the bottom corner. [/b][/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/akliouche-maghnes/0UP6MLGJ/"]Maghnes Akliouche[/a] did his best to make amends for the hosts, but his effort rolled comfortably into [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/leon-donovan/63zhY82M/"]Donovan Leon[/a]’s arms.[/p][p]Nevertheless, Auxerre continued to threaten, and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/hradecky-lukas/nRZtaBXj/"]Lukas Hradecky[/a] did well to tip away [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/oppegard-fredrik/dn9P59S3/"]Fredrik Oppegard[/a]’s strike.[/p][p][b]Eventually, the visitors doubled their advantage after the half-hour mark, and Hradecky was at fault this time as he let [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/sinayoko-lassine/ALL2QBYu/"]Lassine Sinayoko[/a]’s shot in under his body. [/b][/p][p]Things could have got worse for Monaco before the break, too, but [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/sylla-fode/AiqlAx7t/"]Sy Diomande[/a]’s header from a corner looped onto the roof of the net.[/p][image alt="Monaco - Auxerre match stats" id="dc5cd7ed-bd1f-4d55-8295-d81894fd3703" credit-line="Opta by StatsPerform" guid="1268b9bb-500f-4653-a520-356f21b10b17" original-width="1080" original-height="1080" /][p]To their credit, the hosts picked themselves up in the second half, and Leon was made to work early by palming [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/teze-jordan/Sbk0VFPJ/"]Jordan Teze[/a]’s curler over.[/p][p][b] However, he could not keep out [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/fati-ansu/dUPVnxzP/"]Ansu Fati[/a] from range, as the forward halved the deficit by finding the bottom corner after being fed by Akliouche. [/b][/p][p]Before the hour mark, Monaco could not believe their luck as they were then awarded a penalty when Leon brought down Folarin Balogun.[/p][p][b]The USA international stepped up to take it and made history by becoming just the fifth player this century to score in eight consecutive Ligue 1 matches. [/b][/p][p]Six of his last eight goals have now come after the break, too, and he thought he made it seven when he lashed into the far corner from a tight angle only for the strike to be disallowed for offside.[/p][p]Auxerre suffered a further blow in the latter stages when goalkeeper Leon was forced off injured, but they ultimately held out for at least a share of the spoils, which could be a precious point in their bid for survival as they sit six points ahead of [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/nantes/veuetnGG/"]Nantes[/a] in the automatic relegation spots.[/p][p]Monaco, meanwhile, remain outside of the European places, yet they will be pleased with their resilience here.[/p][p][b]Flashscore Man of the Match: [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/balgun-folarin/rVZLmUsU/"]Folarin Balogun[/a] ([a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/monaco/2PIvr8o4/"]AS Monaco[/a])[/b][/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/auxerre-MTLr36WA/monaco-2PIvr8o4/summary/stats/?mid=MFhSvDq1"]Check out all the match stats with Flashscore.[/a][/p]
