Arthur Avom’s superb stoppage-time strike earned Lorient a 1-1 draw at Lille on Sunday, while Hakon Haraldsson again failed to influence the game.

According to L'Équipe, Nabil Bentaleb controlled play in front of the back line, while Haraldsson offered little threat and Avom was the standout.

On 55 minutes, his fine effort was cleared off the line by Mandi.

Bentaleb then broke the deadlock on 65 minutes, releasing Fernandez-Pardo in behind the Lorient defence.

Haraldsson was replaced by Soriba Diaoune on 88 minutes, Bentaleb was booked at 90+2, then Avom levelled at 90+3 with a superb finish into Özer’s top corner.
