A solid night’s work in #Monaco and we’re into the last eight of the @CoupeLigueBKT. 😁

And that means he has scored at least three times more than any other Lille player so far this term.
Having scaled the Red and Whites’ hurdle, Galtier and his men now shift their focus to Sunday’s tie with Raon l’Etape.
