AS Monaco's young talent was on full display in Saturday's Coupe de la Ligue final, working together to come up with an equaliser against rival Paris Saint-Germain.

In a play that cut PSG apart, Bernardo Silva dinked a wonderful ball to Djibril Sidibe, who dished a desperate pass to Thomas Lemar for a hard-hit leveller.

The trio has an average age of just over 22 years old.

Earlier, Julian Draxler - who's inspired PSG in equal measure since his arrival from Wolfsburg last January - scored the opening goal to give the capital club a temporary lead.

That only lasted 23 minutes, with Lemar subsequently banging in his 10th goal across all competitions.

But an unmarked Angel Di Maria restored PSG's advantage right before the half-time whistle, toe-poking an easy shot past Monaco goalkeeper Danijel Subasic.

Edinson Cavani struck twice in the second stanza to ensure yet another trophy for PSG.
