Monaco 4 Lille 0: Falcao and Silva all but seal Ligue 1 title

While the Ligue 1 title is not yet mathematically secured, Monaco's victory over Lille means they will inevitably win the French top flight.

Monaco all but sealed the Ligue 1 title as Radamel Falcao scored twice to give them an impressive 4-0 home victory over Lille.

Paris Saint-Germain's 5-0 win over Saint-Etienne means Leonardo Jardim's side have not officially been crowned champions, but the leaders are three points clear with a game in hand and have a goal difference which is greater by 17.

Monaco face Saint-Etienne on Wednesday knowing a draw will formally give them the title, but this win has in effect sealed Ligue 1 glory and the club's first title since the 1999-00 season as PSG have only one game remaining.
