Saint-Etienne come from behind to beat Reims

Saint-Etienne came from behind to beat Reims 3-1 in their Ligue 1 clash on Sunday afternoon.

A tight first period brought few chances for either side, but it was Reims that led at the interval following a strike from Benjamin Moukandjo.

The home side responded in the second period, however, first registering through Max Gradel on the hour mark, before Kevin Monnet-Paquet made it 2-1 10 minutes later.

Saint-Etienne were not finished and added a third after 81 minutes through Mevlut Erding.

The result has moved the home side to the top of the table with six points from two matches.
