Paris Brunner
ASM
Handed two match suspension
Brunner has received a two match suspension, effective Sept. 29, for his behavior during the recent match against Strasbourg, which will rule him out of the matches against Toulouse on Oct. 10 and at Lorient on Oct. 18, according to the league.
Analysis: Brunner is Ligue 1's top goalscorer with four goals in five matches, having netted the opener in the recent win over Lens as part of a run that has seen him start every game this season. His suspension will likely lead to Folarin Balogun starting up front until Brunner returns to compete for the spot.
Nets opener on Friday
Brunner scored one goal to go with three shots (three on goal) and two chances created in Friday's 2-1 win versus Lens.
Analysis: Brunner netted the opener in the 32nd minute assisted by Matthis Abline following a good build-up. Brunner created two chances, made 10 passes and also won three duels. He has started all five games this campaign, netting four times.
Nets Equalizer on Saturday
Brunner scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Strasbourg.
Analysis: Brunner equalized in the 71st minute with an extraordinary long range shot, assisted by Lamine Camara. Brunner recorded 12 passes, won two fouls and also made a clearance. He is now upto three goals for the campaign in four games.
Scores brace in win
Brunner scored two goals to go with five shots (three on goal) in Sunday's 2-0 win against Marseille.
Analysis: Brunner scored twice in Sunday's 2-0 Ligue 1 derby win over Marseille, first heading home unmarked from a set-piece second phase off Aleksandr Golovin's delivery before manoeuvring past Geoffrey Kondogbia twice and Conrad Jonathan Egan-Riley to dispatch a clinical left-footed finish from Eric Dier's lofted ball in the second half. He also drew a save from Jeffrey De Lange with a volley before the break in what was Monaco's most complete individual attacking performance of the early season. Brunner now has four goals in four games across all competitions, confirming his status as a ready-made replacement for Folarin Balogun in Monaco's attack.
Starts on Sunday
Brunner registered four shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Le Havre.
Analysis: Brunner started and register four shots. He recorded three passes and also contributed defensively with a clearance before being replaced in the 57th minute. He had only started one game in the Ligue 1 prior to this game and the start might indicate an increased involvement this campaign.
