PARIS — Monaco's floundering season has taken another turn for the worse after losing 2-1 at rock-bottom Montpellier in Ligue 1 and conceding third place to Lille. Bruno Genesio's Lille side extended its unbeaten run in all competitions to 21 games with a 2-1 home win against Nice to move one point above Monaco after 18 rounds. Despite taking the lead through Germany defender Thilo Kehrer, Monaco collapsed after the break when Jordan forward Mousa Al Tamari scored twice. Coach Adi Hütter's Monaco has won only twice in the past 11 games overall and is 12 points behind leader Paris Saint-Germain.
