VIDEO: Falcao's brilliant free kick winner for Monaco

Monaco was in need of some inspiration, and Radamel Falcao was just the man to provide it. 

With PSG having won on Friday night, the Ligue 1 leaders needed to follow suit, but things weren't looking good against Dijon, who held a 1-0 lead an hour in.

But the Colombian striker was on hand to turn the match around,coming off the bench and hitting a free kick that rattled the bar and was banged home off the rebound by Nabil Dirar to pull his side level. 

It was Falcao's winner that was the stunner though, with the second free kick flying into the top corner and giving his side a crucial victory as they chase the Ligue 1 crown. 

The win leaves Monaco three points clear of PSG in the table.
