St Etienne brought an end to their seven-match winless run to pile more pressure on Ligue 1 strugglers Monaco by beating them 2-0.

Goals from Laurent Batlles and Bakary Sako secured three welcome points for the visitors, who moved back into the top half of the standings as a result.

Monaco, however, remain one place above the drop zone with only goal difference keeping them ahead of Caen and Lens below them.
