The former Manchester United right back found himself perfectly positioned in the 84th minute when Lyon substitute Rachid Ghezzal's inadvertent touch left the Brazilian to sweep a right-footed shot past Monaco keeper Danijel Subasic.
Monaco had led through Mario Pasalic's 39th minute header from a corner but were reduced to 10 men midway through the second half when defender Wallace was red carded for a mistimed tackle on Ghezzal that sparked a brief skirmish.
The point lifted Lyon into fifth place with 16 points, above St Etienne on goal difference, two more than Monaco who remain in mid-table and are yet to win at home this season.
