Monaco reach milestone with Nice win

Monaco moved three points clear at the top of Ligue 1 on Saturday, reaching a milestone thanks to Radamel Falcao's double in a 3-0 drubbing of Nice. The principality side have now netted 100 goals in all competitions this season, a good omen looking ahead to their Champions League last-16 first leg at Manchester City this month. Leonardo Jardim's side, who have scored 68 league goals in 23 matches, have 52 points.
