Savanier's double gives the taste for success to Montpellier
Savanier gives victory back to Montpellier. After two defeats, against Monaco (1-0) and Angers (1-0), the midfielder put the Hérault on the road to success against Strasbourg (3-0). The former Nîmois distinguished himself in the second half by opening the score from the penalty spot and then driving the point home by scoring the third goal with a heavy and powerful strike leaving no chance for Matz Sels, the Strasbourg goalkeeper. A nice performance that allows his teammates to climb to 5th place in Ligue 1, three units from LOSC.

Boulaya gives air to Metz
Boulaya offers the beautiful operation of the evening in Metz against Amiens (0-1). Ten days before the end of the championship, Vincent Hognon's men have imposed themselves on the ground of a direct competitor in maintenance. A success marked by the superb goal of Farid Boulaya. Eccentric on the left, the Algerian international rolled up his strike with the right foot, ending in the opposite skylight. A realization all the more beautiful since it allows his team to move away from the relegation zone with 4 points more than Nîmes, the first relegation.
Rajkovic saves Reims
Once again, Rajkovic was decisive. Despite the conceded penalty, the Rémois goalkeeper proved to be infallible against the Monegasque offensives. At the end of the match, while Robert Moreno's men were pushing for a home victory, the Serbian international rejected the attempts of Ben Yedder (87th) and Jovetic (90 + 3) to offer the point of the draw in Reims, which climbs to 7th place. Impassable.
FLOPS
Monaco loses points in the race for Europe
Second consecutive draw for ASM. At home, Robert Moreno's men had to have the Stade de Reims but the goal of Wissam Ben Yedder, the 17th of the season in Ligue 1, was not enough (1-1). Disgusted by a Rajkovic of the great evenings (see elsewhere), the players of the Rock stall in the race for Europe. Following this parity score and Montpellier's victory against Strasbourg, Monaco drops to 6th place in Ligue 1.

Goicoecha pushes Toulouse a little further
There are days with and days without. But in Toulouse it is often without at the moment ... Authors of an insipid performance against Stade Rennais, the Téfécé players have, once again, shown nothing brilliant. After having conceded a goal quickly (3rd), they ran after the score throughout the match before being shot by ... their own goalkeeper. On a powerful, but apparently harmless, shooting center from Maouassa, Goicoechea himself accompanied the ball into the back of his net. With 13 small points, Toulouse languishes in 20th place in Ligue 1.
