MONACO — Mika Biereth is thriving after his move to France. Biereth, the talented striker originally from London, put on another stunning performance as he netted his third hat trick of the month in Monaco’s 3-0 victory over Reims in the Ligue 1 clash last Friday. This prolific goal-scoring form has been a highlight of Biereth’s early career at Monaco, having joined the team recently from Sturm Graz during the last transfer window.
Since his arrival, Biereth has made a significant impact, with Friday’s goals marking his eighth through tenth for the club. His recent hat tricks against Auxerre and Nantes have also underscored his natural goal-scoring ability. Biereth initiated the scoring against Reims in the 34th minute, expertly positioning himself at the back post to convert a Caio Henrique cross with a precise side-footed shot.
Just five minutes later, Biereth demonstrated poise and skill in a crowded penalty area, volleying in his second goal of the match. His evening was complete as he slotted home a simple tap-in following a close-range save by the Reims goalkeeper during the second half.
With this victory, Monaco moved ahead of Lille to secure fourth place in Ligue 1, sharing points with third-place Nice which holds a game in hand. On the other hand, Reims continues to struggle, remaining fourth from the bottom and just three points clear of the relegation zone, extending their winless streak to 13 matches.
