(Reuters) – AS Monaco lost 3-1 at home to fifth-placed Reims in Ligue 1 on Saturday and missed the chance to close the gap on the leaders.
Monaco stay third with 33 points, seven points adrift of pacesetters Paris St Germain and two behind Nice.
Teddy Teuma opened the scoring for the visitors after 35 minutes when he fired into the top corner from outside the box.
Wissam Ben Yedder equalised for Monaco four minutes into the second half with a close-range header but Reda Khadra put Reims back in front in the 55th after weaving through the defence before slotting the ball home from a tight angle.
Reims scored a third through Azor Matusiwa in added time.
The top two will have the chance to widen the gap with Monaco as Nice visit Stade Rennais later on Saturday, while PSG are in action on Sunday at Lens.
