Rennes goes top after late Truffert winner
Debutant Adrien Truffert came off the bench to score a stoppage-time winner which sent Rennes top of Ligue 1 with a 2-1 win over Monaco on Sunday (AEST).
Truffert, 18, claimed the winner after assisting Steven Nzonzi's equaliser as Wissam Ben Yedder broke the deadlock in the first half.
Monaco coach Niko Kovac made four changes from last weekend's victory over Nantes with Ben Yedder made captain of the side.
The Bretons' Serhou Guirassy kept his place up-front after scoring twice in last weekend's win at Nimes.
Ben Yedder opened the scoring after 28 minutes after a defensive shambles inside the Rennes box.
Sofiane Diop hit a half-volley after a Cesc Fabregas corner and Ben Yedder hit home after Steven Nzonzi's attempted clearance.
Nzoni made up for his earlier mistake with nine minutes to play.
Left-back Truffert broke down the flank and the former Blackburn Rovers and Roma midfielder headed the equaliser.
Ben Yedder was substituted with seven minutes left as the visitors looked to close out a point.
Truffert had other plans, scoring the winner less than 70 seconds into stoppage-time with a shot from outside the box.
Elsewhere, Newly-promoted Lens moved up to third with a 2-1 win over Bordeaux.
Summer arrivals Ignatius Ganogo and Chelsea academy product Gael Kakuta were on the scoresheet before Samuel Kalu's consolation effort in stoppage-time.
