Super Eagles star earns TOTW recognition after inspiring come-back win at Brest

The Nigeria international grabbed the brace that powered Les Merlus to an impressive away win on Sunday

Super Eagles striker Teremas Igobor Moffi has been included in the Ligue 1 Team of the Week by the French publication L’Equipe.

Moffi earned the prestigious recognition after smashing both of Lorient’s goals in their 2-1 derby triumph at Brest.

Moffi scored his first goal of the match in the 24th minute to cancel Del Castillo’s 17th-minute opener for the home side.

The Nigeria international then ensured that Lorient left the Stade Francis-Le Blé in Brest with all three points when he guided his second of the encounter into the net ten minutes after the break.

Moffi’s output got him an 8/10 rating, L’Equipe’s highest for the week.

The 23-year-old has now managed eight goals in the French top division, making him the joint-leading scorer with Paris St Germain’s duo of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar Junior.

Having contributed more than a third of Lorient’s goals (eight out of 21), Moffi is leading Les Merlus’ charge for an unlikely Ligue 1 title challenge.

Lorient have climbed above Marseille to second on the league table, only one point behind champions PSG.
