AS Monaco delivered a dominant performance on Saturday, securing a resounding 7-1 victory over FC Nantes.
The match also marked the return of Nigerian forward George Ilenikhena, who made an immediate impact with two late goals.
The 19-year-old, sidelined for several weeks due to a groin injury, was introduced as a substitute and wasted no time making his presence felt.
He found the net in the 81st minute before adding his second in stoppage time, sealing a comprehensive win for his side.
Ilenikhena, who joined Monaco from Royal Antwerp, expressed his delight at returning to action and contributing to the victory.
Victory with a double! Happy to be back on the pitch.
We’re continuing on this momentum, focus on the next match on Tuesday, he wrote on Instagram after the game.
Monaco’s emphatic win strengthens their position in the league, while Ilenikhena’s return provides a boost for the squad as they prepare for their upcoming fixtures.
