Three goals in the span of only seven minutes resolve the Ligue 1 derby (3-1)
English coach William Will Still is doing an amazing job at Stade Reims, as the minnows punch way above their weight in this Ligue 1 season.
However, not even Still and his boys could survive under the barrage of impeccable Monaco on Saturday night as the new table-toppers celebrate a deserved 3-1 victory.
After a rather dull majority of the first half, the visitors broke the deadlock near the break thanks to Jakobs.

That sudden opener affected both sides as Adi Hutter's team rushed straight off the starting block after the interval with two more quick goals from Balogun and Ben Yedder.
The tie was already killed in that 49th minute, with the hosts scoring a consolation one, through Teuma from the spot.

With a single loss in the opening eight rounds to Nice 0-1 three games ago, Monaco are showing signs of title potential and should probably be considered a proper contender.
