Monaco's hopes of challenging Paris St-Germain for the Ligue 1 title suffered a blow with a draw against Lorient.
Lorient, who came into the match in 10th position, took the lead through striker Vincent Aboubakar when he headed in Kevin Monnet-Paquet's cross.
Valere Germain levelled for Monaco with a close-range shot before Jeremie Aliadiere slammed in from inside the area to put the home side ahead again.
With two minutes left, Layvin Kurzawa fired in to salvage a point for Monaco.
The club, owned by Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev, are five points behind PSG, who defeated Bordeaux 2-0 on Friday.
The top two clash at the Stade Louis II next Sunday.
