00:00They're doing so impressively.
00:01Well, just two changes have been made to the team that started in the 6-1 win over Saint-Étienne
00:07in the Coupe de France in midweek.
00:09Keylor Navas returns in goal and Thiago Silva makes his 200th Ligue 1 appearance at centre-back.
00:16Marco Verratti makes appearance number 300 in a Paris Saint-Germain shirt.
00:21And that front four, the fantastic four, Neymar, Icardi, Mbappe and DiEMO.
00:26First XI, the exact same XI he set out in Monaco's first game of the year, the 2-1 Coupe
00:33de France win over Reims on the fourth.
00:36That means a 4-3-3 with Golovin, Bakayoko and Fabregas in midfield.
00:41And the league's top scorer, Wissam Ben Yedder, flanked by Gelson Martins and Keita Balde in fine form himself with
00:49three goals in his last two outings.
00:52Open up, playing Paris Saint-Germain twice.
00:56They lost 3-0 to Lille once and then 1-5-1.
01:00Here's an early chance for Paris with Neymar and an early goal.
01:07That didn't take very long, did it?
01:10Again, a popular member of this PSG team.
01:15Brilliant ball through from Marco Verratti.
01:17A perfectly timed run.
01:19And as was the case in that 6-1 win over Saint-Étienne in midweek, Neymar had two options in
01:26the middle.
01:26For the PSG Academy graduate, Fode Balotore.
01:30Now Golovin striking goalwards.
01:32It comes back for the Russian.
01:34He finds Fabregas.
01:36Brilliant ball into Ben Yedder.
01:37And surely it's Shelsen Martins.
01:42And Monaco a level.
01:51Cesc Fabregas, who's made a name of playing through delightful assists, registering his third of the season.
02:00And Ben Yedder clattered.
02:02Would have been the penalty.
02:04Had Shelsenil 7-1, 4-0 and 3-1 in the last five visits here.
02:11But they might come out on top here, by the way.
02:13Things are going so far.
02:14Ben Yedder opens up the space and finishes.
02:17Monaco a 2-1 up.
02:2012 and a half minutes on the clock and this one has got off to a...
02:24Ben Yedder eyed by Kehla Navas in the lead-up to Monaco's first.
02:29This time, he made no mistake.
02:31Great link-up play between Golovin and Balde.
02:34And Ben Yedder's first touch totally took Bernat out of the game.
02:39And that is a finish worthy of a man leading the score.
02:49Neymar takes charge.
02:50And it needed a good save from Bajamalacourt.
02:56Meunier's gone for the 1-2.
02:58Goal side of his man.
02:59And Mbappe turns it just the wrong side of the post.
03:03Going in.
03:06That's not bad either from Kehla Balde.
03:09And 2-1 here for Monaco.
03:11Ben Yedder.
03:12Balde to his left.
03:13Kehla Balde now.
03:15And that's a top save from Kehla Navas.
03:19Limit.
03:25Di Maria.
03:26Neymar.
03:28Neymar going for goal and the deflection of Fode Balotore takes it in.
03:35Parismi player.
03:37Just in the wrong place there.
03:40Neymar cutting inside Henriss.
03:43Finding the space to get the shot away.
03:52Fabregas to deliver.
03:53Towards the front post where Klick was waiting.
03:56And I think that's off the upright.
04:00Almost launched the Parisian attack instead.
04:03Monaco return towards Navas' goal with Golovin.
04:06And another top quality save from the Costa Rican goalkeeper.
04:12And now room for Mbappe behind the full back.
04:17And Shelson Martins too.
04:19And Shelson Martins too.
04:19He could go round him.
04:21The penalty's given.
04:27Well Benjamin Hendricks made a good run forward.
04:33But he couldn't track back quickly enough.
04:36And Shelson Martins doesn't have the same defending ability.
04:39Mbappe made the most of that.
04:41One step over round the outside.
04:45And Martins with a clumsy tackle.
04:49No real doubt about it.
04:51That's a penalty kick for Paris Saint-Germain.
04:53And a chance to go 3-2 up.
04:56Five minutes or so before the break.
05:17The usual curve run-up from Neymar.
05:20The steps and the finish.
05:27Paris Saint-Germain back and...
05:29Perfectly executed.
05:31Waited for Lecomte to...
05:33Leap to one side.
05:35And just place the ball...
05:38In the opposite side of the net.
05:42Piercy...
05:44Fabregas.
05:47Very difficult ball in to defend.
05:50There's still some defending to do.
05:52Martins across goal.
05:54Golevin again.
05:55And he's put it wide.
05:57Unbelievably.
05:59Nope.
06:00He's made his way to the edge of the technical area.
06:03After eight minutes of the second period that he spent sitting down.
06:07Di Maria into Neymar for the hat-trick.
06:10And it's a brilliant save from Bajamalekont.
06:14Who'd have bet?
06:16Out wide for Martins.
06:19Shelson Martins past Vidati.
06:21Still going.
06:22Shelson Martins.
06:23And it may be deflected in Slimani.
06:25Oh, the flag is up.
06:27The flag is up on the far side.
06:31A short-lived joy for Islam Slimani.
06:35It will, of course, be checked.
06:40Let's have another look.
06:42Brilliant work from Shelson Martins and Slimani well offside.
06:46No doubt about it.
06:50Fantastic footwork from Martins.
07:01And it's a goal.
07:03The goal stands.
07:05Marquinhos is touched on the way through.
07:10Idrissiqe.
07:12Mbappe.
07:13Seeing more and more of the ball.
07:14Kylian Mbappe now running at Henricks.
07:17This time the ball does get in.
07:18But evades all three per...
