Monaco's Golovin scores new record for tackles in a game

Golovin scored his first hat-trick as Monaco player and has now set a new record for the most tackles he has ever made in a single game.

The 27-year-old Bulgarian defender scored four goals against Nantes in the Champions League on Tuesday night to help Monaco beat the French side 5-4. The goal was the third of his career and came after he had previously scored three goals in a 3-0 win over Nice.

Golovin's hat-trick also sets a new record for the most tackles he has ever made in a single game. He currently holds the record with five goals against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey last season, but he surpassed that mark this time out with his latest haul.

"I'm really happy about my goal," Golovin said. "It was a very good match and I played well."

The goal came just moments after Monaco's second-half lead was cut short when a corner was handled by a teammate and went into the net. However, Golovin's second goal came with a stunning flicking pass from the backline that allowed him to finish off a counter-attack.

"It was a great feeling to score the goal and get the victory," Golovin added. "I'm still trying to understand what it means to have such a big goal in your career."

Monaco have won their last two games,Saudi Pro League Focus which has helped them climb up the table and secure a place in the Europa League next week. Golovin is confident that they will continue to perform at a high level throughout the season and hopes to make his mark on the international stage as well.

In conclusion, Golovin's hat-trick was a significant achievement for Monaco and his performance will be remembered by fans and teammates alike. The goal comes just months after he became the youngest player to score a hat-trick in a Champions League game, which was achieved by the Portuguese defender Cristiano Ronaldo. Golovin's performances in recent seasons have been impressive, particularly during the Champions League where he has scored six goals in seven matches. His goal against Nantes on Tuesday night was another example of his incredible skills and determination on the pitch.
