AS Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim defended Radamel Falcao's performance for their Champions League win over Tottenham.

The Colombian battled to make an impact at Wembley, but Jardim insists he was happy with the striker.

"Falcao was decisive for us as he has worked hard defensively.

"He served as a point of support and helped us to start to defend from the back," said Jardim.

Monaco pulled off a surprise 2-1 win on the night.
