Kone Claims Falcao is easy to mark

Lorient defender Lamine Kone claims it is "easy" to play against Monaco star Radamel Falcao.

Claudio Ranieri's side secured a hard-fought 1-0 win on Sunday after Falcao won and converted a penalty, taking his tally to four goals in just five games in Ligue 1.

However, Kone claims he was never unduly tested by the Colombia star in last weekend's fixture and insists the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Bafetimbi Gomis are far sterner opponents in France's top flight.

Is he Falcao the most difficult player I have had to mark? Frankly, no, the 24-year-old was quoted as saying by France Football. In fact, he's quite easy to mark.
