AS Monaco recorded its second home win of the Ligue 1 season on Saturday, beating Nantes 1-0 to move out of the relegation zone.

Monaco could be dragged back down by results for lower teams, but the win was a welcome one for returning manager Leonardo Jardim.

Monaco has now one two and drawn one of the last three league matches, which is the team’s best form of the season.

For his second game in a row, Gelson Martins scored in the game. The Atletico Madrid loanee has made a positive contribution to his first three league matches since joining in January.

Meanwhile, Russian Oleg Petrov is set to be appointed as vice-president and Chief Executive Officer at a board meeting this week.
