Adrien Silva helped AS Monaco to a vital win in their fight for Ligue 1 survival on Saturday night.

The on-loan Leicester City midfielder, who joined the principality club in exchange for Youri Tielemans on January deadline day, played the full 90 minutes of a 2-0 defeat of Amiens.

Monaco benefitted from a helping hand by Amiens, who sit one place and one point below them in 17th.

Goalkeeper Regis Gurtner fumbled Radamel Falcao's tame header through his hands and gifted Silva's side a 26th minute lead.

Aleksandr Golovin made sure of the three points eight minutes from time, slotting home on the counter as Amiens pushed for an equaliser at the Stade Louis II stadium.

Silva has made 13 appearances for Monaco , who sit three points clear of Caen in 18th, the relegation play-off spot, and have a better goal difference by eight.

Leonardo Jardim's side welcome eighth-placed Nice on May 24 for the final match of the campaign, while Caen host Bordeaux.

Monaco cannot be relegated automatically, with Saturday night's win assuring them of either safety or a relegation play-off.

"Important victory tonight," he tweeted aftewards.

"Bravo to all, we have one last battle to win! Thank you for your support."
