Marseille: Monaco snatched a 2-1 victory at Amiens on Saturday after Wissam Ben Yedder and Islam Slimani struck in a frantic finish to push the Principality team up to fifth in Ligue 1. Earlier, Dimitri Payet helped Marseille maintain their grip on second place with the only goal in a 1-0 win over rock-bottom Toulouse. In northern France, Monaco trailed to Serhou Guirassy's first half goal created by a howler by Monaco goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte until Ben Yedder equalised with a superb volley in the 85th minute.

Three minutes into injury time, Cesc Fabregas supplied the corner for substitute Slimani to head in a dramatic winner that shot his side to within six points of the Champions League places. "I'm happy. It was a very tricky match against a team that played well and made it difficult for us," said Ben Yedder. Monaco's Spanish coach Robert Moreno will hope the goal helps the Algerian Slimani turn the page on a turbulent January when he expressed his desire to leave the club. "He's a great player, I said as much when I arrived at Monaco," said 42-year-old Moreno. "We have an incredible attack with some top-draw players. I'm very happy that he scored."
