Monaco held to draw by Toulouse

Ligue 1 newcomers were held to a bore draw at the Stade Louis II by Toulouse, as both clubs failed to threaten each other's goals for large parts of the game. 

The biggest threat came from Monaco's midfield summer signing, Jeremy Toulalan at stoppage time when his freekick from 25 yards out hit the crossbar. 


Record signing Radamel Falcao failed to find the net or at least threaten during the game. The player has insisted that he's staying following reports that he is going to quit Monaco due to new legislation that might oblige Monaco players to pay taxes. 


The game was played behind closed doors after Monaco got punished for having a pitch invasion last season against Le Mans.


Despite the draw, Monaco moved to the top of the Ligue 1.
