Ten-man Monaco have missed out on the chance to overtake Saint-Etienne in the Ligue 1 table following a 1-1 draw at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard this evening.
The visitors took the lead on 17 minutes when Lacina Traore diverted the ball into the back of the net following Jeremy Toulalan's long-range shot.
Valere Germain came close to adding a second before the interval when he met Joao Moutinho's corner, but his header was narrowly wide of goal.
Saint-Etienne managed to equalise shortly before the hour through Norwich City loanee Ricky van Wolfswinkel, who got the better of Danijel Subasic to bring his side on level terms.
The Red and Whites were left hanging on when Tiemoue Bakayoko was shown a second yellow card 20 minutes from time, but Les Verts were unable to add a second in the remaining time.
The draw leaves Saint-Etienne sitting in sixth place in the league table, while Monaco are three points behind in seventh ahead of the two-week international break.
