Falcao strikes back as Monaco avoid third defeat


MONACO (Reuters) - Striker Radamel Falcao scored his ninth goal of the Ligue 1 season to salvage a 1-1 home draw for Monaco against Evian Thonon Gaillard as the team from the principality continued to stall on Friday.

The result, on the back of two consecutive defeats in all competitions, left Monaco in third place with 26 points from 13 matches, two behind leaders Paris St Germain who will extend their lead to five points if they beat Nice on Saturday at the Parc des Princes (1600 GMT).
