Ousmane Dembele's double helped Paris Saint-Germain secure a 4-2 victory over Monaco, extending their lead at the top of Ligue 1 by 10 points. Despite the win, PSG faced a setback when goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma had to leave the field in the 22nd minute due to a facial injury from a clash with Wilfried Singo.

PSG quickly responded to Donnarumma's exit. Just two minutes later, Achraf Hakimi made an impressive run and set up Desire Doue for the opening goal. However, Monaco equalised in the 52nd minute through Eliesse Ben Seghir's penalty after Marquinhos was penalised for handball.

Monaco briefly took the lead when Breel Embolo scored from Maghnes Akliouche's cross at the hour mark. But Dembele restored parity in the 64th minute. Shortly after, Goncalo Ramos headed home from Lee Kang-In's corner, putting PSG ahead once more.

Dembele ensured victory for PSG with his second goal deep into stoppage time. He broke away on a counter-attack and skillfully chipped the ball over Monaco's goalkeeper Philipp Kohn, sealing the match at Stade Louis II.

Ramos made an immediate impact after coming on as a substitute. His goal came just three minutes and eight seconds after entering the pitch, marking it as one of the fastest substitute goals this season in Ligue 1. Only Lens' Angelo Fulgini has scored faster against Marseille.

Dembele's final goal was timed at 96 minutes and 41 seconds, making it PSG's latest league goal since at least 2006-07. This victory also extended PSG's unbeaten away streak in Ligue 1 to 32 matches, trailing only AC Milan and Bayern Munich in Europe's top leagues.
