The match did look to be heading to a draw before Sofiane Diop popped up with a winner in the 89th minute for Monaco.
That leaves the French club on a W2 D1 record in the group and holding down the top spot.

Both teams to score on Thursday night is at a quote of 4/6 and that looks like a reasonable proposition* (odds recorded 2041 GMT on November 1st 2021).
