Minamino provided a sign of things to come as he forced Lucas Chevalier into a brilliant stop just before the half-hour mark at Stade Louis II, firing a sweet volley on target at the near post.

PSG then survived a double scare from Mohammed Salisu before the break as the Ghanian first struck the woodwork with an unmarked header, before seeing a close-range goal off Caio Henrique’s inviting cross ruled out for offside.

The visitors came out after the break with plenty of intent as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia poked a clever shot across goal to the far post, forcing Lukas Hradecky into action before Senny Mayulu sent a deft header agonisingly wide.

Minamino finally broke the deadlock in the 68th minute, collecting Aleksandr Golovin’s clipped cross neatly before steering a composed half-volley past a rooted Chevalier.

Luis Enrique’s side pushed for a late response and saw its task eased as former PSG defender Thilo Kehrer was sent off in the 80th minute for a lazy shove on Ibrahim Mbaye.

Vitinha and Joao Neves both threatened in stoppage-time, but their profligacy ultimately capped off a lacklustre outing from PSG, which still holds a two-point cushion at the top of the table. Monaco, meanwhile, sits in sixth.

Monaco has now beaten PSG more often than any other side in Ligue 1 with 46 wins in 99 matches.
