Aleksandr Golovin is your MVP against Angers in his 150th match

Scorer with a superb curled shot, the Monegasque midfielder was elected MVP of the win against the Angevins in his 150th appearance in Rouge et Blanc.

He definitely likes to put on a show when he passes a milestone. Having been MVP in his 100th match with AS Monaco against Nice last season, Aleksandr Golovin was again at the races in his 150th appearance in Rouge et Blanc. A substitute at kick-off in the win against Angers (2-0), the midfielder came on in the 56th minute.

A perfectly shot into the top corner

It only took him 14 minutes to be decisive and prove his talent. On a pass from Kevin Volland, Aleksandr Golovin was found on the left of the area. He then cut inside, getting the ball on to his right foot before he hit a sublime curling shot into the opposite corner to beat Yahia Fofana and double the lead.

He has already attempted this type of goal this season, and he has the qualities to score in this way. I hope that over time, he will score a lot of goals like that because he has the qualities to do so!

It was his second goal of the season after scoring in Reims in September and also his second after coming on since his arrival.

Only player in the squad at 150 games

His first goal off the bench happened in Lorient during the 2020-2021 season where he scored just 11 seconds after coming on. What could be more beautiful then to repeat this performance in his 150th match in all competitions in the colors of AS Monaco.
