Last-gasp Fofana fires Lyon to victory

Lyon snatched a 2-1 victory at Toulouse on Sunday thanks to a 95th-minute winner by Malick Fofana, Reims then won to go up to fourth in Ligue 1.

Text size:

Lyon's second win of the season came courtesy of a Rasmus Nicolaisen own goal and Fofana's stoppage-time winner, after Yann Gboho had sent Toulouse into an early lead.

The hosts went in front on 14 minutes when Gboho fired into the top corner after Lyon gave the ball away in their own half.

But Pierre Sage's side were back level two minutes before the half hour when Nicolaisen turned into his own net.

The points seemed set to be shared until the ball broke to Fofana in the box and his flashed effort beat the goalkeeper and just crossed the line before defender Gabriel Suazo could block.

Reims beat Angers 3-1 on the road to move up to fourth, two points behind resurgent Marseille in third.

Goals by Keito Nakamura and Junya Ito inside 25 minutes gave Reims the ideal start and Marshall Munetsi then netted in the 79th minute to seal the three points.

Zinedine Ferhat scored a consolation for the hosts with six minutes remaining, but Angers remain rooted to bottom spot. They are the only team yet to win a match in the league this season.

A second-half brace from Ibrahim Sissoko earned a valuable away point for promoted Saint-Etienne against Nantes.

Johann Lepenant sent the home team in front on 10 minutes and Sorba Thomas doubled their lead four minutes after the break.

Sissoko halved the deficit in the 57th minute and then converted a penalty 10 minutes later to level.

Marseille have the chance to go level on points with leaders Paris Saint-Germain later on Sunday when they visit Strasbourg.
