Draw dents Monaco’s title hopes
ByTNT Sports
Monaco’s faint title aspirations were dented after a 0-0 draw against Montpellier in Ligue 1.
Victory would have propelled Leonardo Jardim’s side to within five points of leaders Paris Saint-Germain, but – as has often been the way this season – their watertight defence was let down by the attack.
Strugglers Stade Reims (16th) have scored more goals this campaign; no team in France's top-flight has conceded fewer.
It could have been an even worse evening for the hosts had visiting striker Lucas Barrios not fired his second half penalty over the crossbar.
Monaco remain in fourth spot, trailing Marseille by two points, Lyon by six points and PSG by seven points.
