  An analytic static monopole solution is found in global AdS$_4$, in the limit
of small backreaction. This solution is mapped in Poincar\'e patch to a falling
monopole configuration, which is dual to a local quench triggered by the
injection of a condensate. Choosing boundary conditions which are dual to a
time-independent Hamiltonian, we find the same functional form of the
energy-momentum tensor as the one of a quench dual to a falling black hole. On
the contrary, the details of the spread of entanglement entropy are very
different from the falling black hole case where the quench induces always a
higher entropy compared to the vacuum, i.e. $\Delta S >0$. In the propagation
of entanglement entropy for the monopole quench, there is instead a competition
between a negative contribution to $\Delta S$ due to the scalar condensate and
a positive one carried by the freely propagating quasiparticles generated by
the energy injection.
