The Ghanaian however was not done just yet as he returned deep into the injury time to win the game for the visitors after an earlier equaliser midway through th second half of the game. Majeed Waris located Anthony Mvuemba inside the 18 yard box with anothe great ball and the centre forward only probed home for Lorient. It ended 2-3 and in the process halted a run of 8 league games without a win.

Compatriot Alhassan Wakaso made way on 46 after picking up yet another mandatory booking. Lorient can pull away from the drop if they can get a handsome win over the weekend.
