Monaco held by Nantes in Ligue 1 despite comeback
Monaco missed the chance to move level on points with second-placed Marseille in Ligue 1 as they were held to a 2-2 draw at Nantes on Friday despite a second-half comeback.
Adi Huetter's side remain in third place, nine points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain who host Saint-Etienne on Sunday.
Monaco could drop out of the automatic Champions League places if Lille win at Auxerre later Friday.
The in-form Matthis Abline gave Nantes an early lead as he swept home his fourth goal in three games in the 12th minute after Douglas Augusto cleverly stepped over Sorba Thomas' low cross.
The hosts doubled their advantage shortly after half-time when Kelvin Amian brilliantly turned in another excellent cross by Welshman Thomas.
But Monaco wasted little time in halving the deficit, as Switzerland striker Breel Embolo turned and fired into the roof of the net.
Former Southampton centre-back Mohammed Salisu levelled for the principality club on the hour mark, heading in his first Ligue 1 goal.
In a dramatic finale which somehow failed to produce a winner, Embolo saw a close-range effort cleared off the line and Nantes winger Moses Simon crashed a curling shot against the post.
