Monaco's perfect Ligue 1 start ends with Strasbourg draw

Monaco's perfect start to the Ligue 1 season came to an end with a 1-1 draw against Strasbourg on Saturday, ending their three-match winning streak. Sadibou Sane's own goal gave Strasbourg the lead shortly after halftime, but Paris Brunner equalized with a superb strike from 20 meters to reclaim top spot from Rennes. Germany youth international Brunner has now scored five times in six games for Monaco in all competitions this term.

Rennes' victory over Marseille on Friday briefly moved them into first place, but Monaco moved back to the summit on goal difference.
