Late Vincent Aboubakar strike hands Lorient win over Nice

Vincent Aboubakar has scored a last-gasp winner to hand Lorient a 2-1 away victory against Nice in Ligue 1 this evening.

Lorient had the game's first chance when Jeremie Aliadiere headed over the crossbar from Raphael Guerreiro's cross into the box.

Gilles Sunu was on hand to give the visitors the lead in the 19th minute when he lashed home a left-footed effort from outside of the box into the bottom right corner.

However, Timothee Kolodziejczak earned Nice an equaliser after 30 minutes when he tucked into the bottom corner with a finish from the left side of the six-yard box.

Both sides went in search of a winner after half time, with Lorient's Bruno Ecuele Manga heading over from close range, before Aboubakar smashed an effort high and wide for the visitors.

The game looked to be heading for a draw, but Aboubakar produced some late fireworks as he drilled a standout effort with his left from outside the box into the bottom corner of goal with two minutes remaining in added time.
