Super Eagles forward, Terem Moffi scored a beautiful solo goal and a goal of the season contender as Lorient fell to a narrow 2-1 defeat at home to Reims.
A run from inside his own half, beating three players before rounding the goalkeeper to score Lorient’s equalizer and his fourth goal in six matches.
The attacker had a slow start to the season but is looking to get back into form for Lorient who currently sits 16th on the log and three points adrift of the relegation zone. The hard tackling midfielder, Innocent Bonke was also involved in the game before being hauled off in the 68th minute.
Elsewhere in the English Premier League, Alex Iwobi put in a brilliant display at left wingback to help Everton claim a hard-fought 1-0 victory via a Richarlison goal against Chelsea at Goodison Park.
The midfielder started for the sixth consecutive time as the toffees continued with their fight to stay alive in the Premier League when they welcomed Chelsea to Goodison Park. Burnley’s victory at Watford on Sunday put the toffees in a precarious position.
Still, in England, Kelechi Iheanacho scored a 90th-minute goal for Leicester City yesterday but it was too little too late as the Foxes fell to a 3-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
In Scotland, Joe Aribo, Calvin Bassey, and Leon Balogun may have bid their hopes of a second league title bye after Rangers managed an eventful 1-1 at Celtic Park.
Six points separated the two sides before kick-off, with Rangers needing a win away over their bitter city rivals to halve that deficit and restore their slim hopes of retaining the title they won last year.
Aribo started the encounter in a false nine role, Bassey featured at centre-back, while Balogun did not make the matchday squad.
