WATCH: Moffi’s beautiful solo goal not enough to save Lorient from home defeat

The Super Eagles attacker grabbed his fourth league goal in six games on Sunday in a special way but it wasn’t enough to save Lorient from defeat

Lorient lost their third match in their last four games as Stade de Reims defeated them at home in the Ligue 1.

After Arber Zenelli gave Reims the lead in the 17th minute, Lorient restored parity though Moffi in the 32nd minute of the game.

After picking a pass from Le Fee in the centre, Moffi drifted past a sea of blue shirts before rounding off the Reims keeper to score his 4th goal in 6 games.

The attacker had a slow start to the season but is looking to get back into form for Lorient who currently sit 16th on the log and three points adrift the relegation zone.

Super Eagles midfielder, Innocent Bonke was also involved in the game before being hauled off in the 68th minute.

Moffi has scored seven goals in 33 games this season in the Ligue 1 as he’s had a mixed season.
