Thomas Lemar strike rescues Monaco draw at Toulouse

Substitute Thomas Lemar earns Monaco a point away to Toulouse at the Stadium Municipal.

Thomas Lemar scored within five minutes of coming on as a substitute to give Monaco a point against Toulouse.

Le Tefece were almost ahead inside the opening 60 seconds, but Danish international Martin Braithwaite's shot was saved by Danijel Subasic.

Guido Carrillo then wasted successive opportunities to give Les Rouges et Blancs, who were beaten 3-1 by Valencia in midweek, a lead at the Stadium Municipal.

Toulouse did take the lead on 22 minutes when Tongo Doumbia smashed a shot on goal from the centre of the box that Subasic was unable to stop.

Braithwaite missed another opportunity to put the hosts further ahead when he headed Jean-Daniel Akpa-Akpro's cross wide of the target.

Monaco almost got back on terms after Stephan El Shaarawy, recalled to the starting lineup, forced a save out of Mauro Goicoechea.

Soon after the restart, Dominique Arribage's men missed chances to open up a two-goal lead, with Doumbia and Braithwaite again going close.

Toulouse were punished for their profligacy when Lemar, five minutes after replacing Fares Bahlouli, steered a shot from the edge of the box that was beyond the reach of Goicoechea.

Carrillo could have snatched victory for Les Rouges et Blancs in the dying stages, but he dragged his shot wide from Almamy Toure's cross as the visitors were forced to settle for a point, which leaves them eighth in the table.
