Folarin Balogun has scored 10 goals in his last 10 games for Monaco. He is currently tied for the second longest scoring streak in Ligue 1 this century, with eight consecutive matches.
This season, Balogun has netted 12 goals in Ligue 1, placing him fourth on the league’s scoring chart. His recent form follows a disappointing international break where he did not score for the U.S. against Belgium and Portugal.
In other Ligue 1 action, Lyon defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 at Parc des Princes. This victory propelled Lyon into third place, securing the final Champions League spot.
Meanwhile, Lens staged a remarkable comeback against Toulouse, winning 3-2 after trailing 2-0. Toulouse midfielder Yan Ghobo received a red card in the 17th minute, which shifted the momentum of the match.
Lens remains within one point of league leader PSG, who has two games in hand. The title race is heating up as the season progresses.
Balogun’s scoring prowess adds excitement to an already competitive league. Observers will be keen to see if he can maintain his form as the season nears its conclusion.
