Which winger was the highest rated player in Ligue 1 this weekend?

 

Angel di Maria scored a spectacular solo effort, but there was no room for the former Manchester United winger in gameweek eight in Ligue 1 after Guingamp’s Nicolas Benezat’s dazzling performance was enough to earn him the only perfect rating of 10 across Europe’s top five leagues this weekend.

 

Benezat, 24, has been performing to a consistently stellar level so far this season and it was Guingamp’s highest rated player (7.82) that came to their rescue in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Monaco on Sunday.
