Ben Yedder at the head of a crazy stat in Europe, the Frenchman is making history!
Zapping Foot National TOP 10: The most beautiful Ligue 1 2021/2022 jerseys
Just back from Covid-19 last weekend against promoted Clermontois, Wissam Ben Yedder was quick to be decisive again. Left on the bench by Philippe Clément at the start of the game, the French international returned at half-time before scoring a double and delivering a decisive pass. Two goals which made the captain of AS Monaco joint top scorer in the championship with Jonathan David (12 goals) but which also made him the best “super sub” of the season.
Indeed, as pointed out Opta, no player has scored more than WBY in the Big Five leagues after starting on the bench for one game this season. The number 10 of the Principality club, on this occasion, scored these 5th and 6th goals. As well as being Europe’s top scorer off the bench, Ben Yedder has made Ligue 1 history.
In the history of Ligue 1!

Only one player has scored more goals in the history of the championship by starting a match on the bench than former futsal player: Souleymane Camara (26), trained at Le Rocher and who spent thirteen years of his career at Montpelier. Wissam Ben Yedder is now at 16 goals and could appropriate this record, even if he would surely prefer to start all the meetings of AS Monaco!
