Lorient claim win at Toulouse.
Former Arsenal striker Jeremie Aliadiere struck 13 minutes from time to hand Lorient all three points at Toulouse.
With both sides well clear of both the battles for Europe and to avoid relegation, the match had a lethargic feel and rarely sparked prior to Aliadiere’s late intervention.
Lorient coach Christian Gourcuff said before kick-off that he would not allow the remainder of their Ligue 1 campaign to fizzle out despite admitting the club’s main goal is now winning the Coupe de France, having reached the semi-finals of the competition.
And the coach will have been heartened that his players kept going to claim all the points, despite Toulouse enjoying the lion’s share of what chances there were.
