PARIS (AP) — Former teenage prodigy Ansu Fati scored less than one minute into his Ligue 1 debut and added another goal as Monaco beat Metz 5-2 on Sunday to move up to second place.

Fati came on at the start of the second half and netted with his first touch when he poked in a cross from the right to make it 2-1. It was his second goal in consecutive games as a substitute, having netted Monaco’s consolation in a 4-1 loss at Club Brugge in the Champions League on Thursday.

Sloppy defending allowed Metz to level at 2-2 but Fati headed in Krépin Diatta’s cross in the 83rd minute to put Monaco in front. An own-goal led to the fourth goal before striker George Ilenikhena added a fifth in stoppage time. Striker Mika Biereth got Monaco’s first goal.
