Monaco thrashed Montpellier 3-0 in their Ligue 1 match on Sunday, with goals from two of the club's key players, Adama Diawara and Benjamin Mendy.

The match was a dominant display by Monaco, who controlled possession for much of the game and created numerous chances for themselves. Their attacking prowess was on full display as they scored three impressive goals in the first half alone.

Diawara, who has been in excellent form this season, opened the scoring for Monaco just before halftime with a powerful header that found the back of the net. The goal was testament to his clinical finishing and aerial prowess, as he rose highest to meet a cross from the left wing.

Benjamin Mendy then added to Monaco's lead shortly after the break, slotting home a well-taken penalty following a handball by Montpellier's defender. Mendy has been in great form recently and showed why he is one of the best defenders in the league with his strong tackling and defensive work rate.

Montpellier tried to fight back in the second half, but Monaco's dominance meant that they were unable to find any way through the visitors' defense. Monaco's win means that they now sit top of the table with six points from their opening four games of the season, while Montpellier remain in fourth place.

Both Diawara and Mendy have played a vital role in Monaco's success so far this season, and their performances against Montpellier will be cause for optimism for the rest of the campaign. With both players continuing to perform at such high levels, it looks like Monaco could be a force to be reckoned with in the coming months.
