Bayer Leverkusen 2 Monaco 3 - Highlights

17.02.2023 - 01:31 beinsports.com

Axel Disasi scored a stoppage time winner to settle a five-goal thriller between Bayer Leverkusen and Monaco in the UEFA Europa League.

The Monaco skipper's long-range effort dramatically handed the Ligue 1 team the advantage heading into the second leg in the principality next week.

It was the visitors who took the lead in a somewhat controversial fashion. Breel Embolo played a major part in the opener as he chased down Leverkusen keeper Lukáš Hrádecký who was forced into an error in which he turned the ball into his own net.

Leverkusen boss Xavi Alonso was convinced that the Swiss striker had fouled his player, but a VAR intervention gave the goal to Monaco.

Insatiable Kylian Mbappe With One Eye On PSG Goal Record And Another On Bayern Munich

Kylian Mbappe will lead Paris Saint-Germain into their meeting with Nantes on Saturday looking for the goal that will put him out on his own as the club's all-time top scorer as they get ready for a season-defining trip to Bayern Munich. Mbappe's brace in PSG's 3-0 win at bitter rivals Marseille last weekend took him to 200 goals for the Qatar-owned club and allowed him to equal his former teammate Edinson Cavani as their record marksman. It would be a surprise if a player who has four goals in his last two games since returning from a thigh injury did not find the net against Nantes at the Parc des Princes to claim the record outright.
