Cesc Fabregas inspired AS Monaco to a tremendous 3-2 victory over Paris Saint-Germain as they came from two down to beat the French champions.

Fabregas, 33, starred for the hosts on Friday, setting up his side's second goal before scoring the match winner from the penalty spot.

PSG raced to a two goal lead in the first-half thanks to Kylian Mbappe who opened the scoring in the 25th minute with a tidy finish.

He doubled his team's lead 12 minutes later from the spot after converting a penalty.

Moise Kean was denied PSG's third by VAR for being in an offside position.

Mbappe also had a goal scratched off by VAR for being offside.

With Monaco two down at the break, manager Niko Kovac brought on Fabregas who completely changed the game with a remarkable performance.

Kevin Volland pulled one back in the 52nd minute. The German bagged a second moments later courtesy of a Fabregas cross.

The former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder then slotted the winning penalty in the 84th minute to complete a stunning comeback.


The Spaniard's stats from the league clash make for impressive reading; one goal, one assist, three key passes, three crosses and completed 32 of his 36 passes.

He took to social media after his masterclass.

On Twitter, he wrote: "Good night all."

Second placed Monaco (20 points) close the gap on leaders PSG (24 points) to four points after Friday's brilliant result.
