Islam Slimani provided an assist to help Monaco defeat Nice 3-1 in Tuesday’s Ligue 1 game at Stade Louis II.
The 31-year-old missed his side’s 0-0 stalemate with Reims due to a muscle strain injury but returned to help the Red and Whites clinch their first win of the season.
Aleksandr Golovin opened the scoring in the 29th minute of the game and Slimani thought he had doubled the lead a minute later but the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) cancelled his effort for offside.
Patrick Burner then levelled for Patrick Vieira’s men in the 54th minute before Slimani set up Golovin for his second goal in the game.
