Lorient strike late to deny Lyon

Alain Traore hits a stoppage-time equaliser for Lorient as Lyon spurn a two-goal lead at Stade du Moustoir this afternoon.

Lorient recovered from a two-goal deficit to salvage a point and hold Lyon to a 2-2 draw at Stade du Moustoir in Ligue 1 this afternoon.

Clement Grenier fired the visitors into a 1-0 lead on 21 minutes before Bafetimbi Gomis doubled the advantage shortly after the half-time break.

Despite trailing by two goals, though, Christian Gourcuff's men rallied and soon reduced the deficit to just one on the hour mark through Vincent Aboubakar.

Remi Garde's side looked poised to claim the three points by boasting a one-goal advantage in stoppage time, only for Alain Traore to strike in the dying stages to deny les Gones the victory.

Lorient remain ninth in France's top flight, two points adrift of their opposition today.
