Pietro Pellegri is your IQONIQ MVP against Lille

Pietro Pellegri is your IQONIQ MVP against Lille
Thanks to his first goal of the season, Pietro Pellegri is your IQONIQ MVP of the match in Lille.

Following a first cap with Italy in mid-November, Pietro Pellegri came very close to scoring his first goal this season during the last match against Nîmes Olympique. Unfortunately, Les Crocos‘ goalkeeper had other ideas, making an almost miraculous stop on a diving header. But yesterday, in Lille, Mike Maignan could not do anything against the Italian striker.

On a ball over the top by Cesc Fabregas in behind Les Dogues‘ defense of the Mastiffs, Pietro Pellegri beat Domagoj Bradaric on a one-on-one to open the way to the goal thanks to an excellent bit of chest control. The sequence that followed was perfect for the Italian international who turned the Lille goalkeeper and slipped the ball in at the far post. It was also a goal scored with his left foot, as against Girondins de Bordeaux in August 2018, even though he is right-footed.

For his seventh appearance of the season, Pietro Pellegri, who replaced Aurélien Tchouameni in the 69th minute of play, is your IQONIQ MVP of this match away to LOSC. Author of two shots among on his 15 touches, the AS Monaco number 19 won with 34.8% of the votes. He finished ahead of Cesc Fabregas, provider of the assist for his goal, who had 12.6% of the vote, and Youssouf Fofana (12.4%).
