Decisive substitute caps Lorient's win at Metz

Arthur Avom sealed it in the seventh minute of second half stoppage time with a right-footed strike from outside the box, as Lorient beat Metz 4-0.

Introduced in the 74th minute, Avom immediately offered a dependable outlet and kept moves alive with quick, simple touches that pushed Lorient up the pitch.

Deep into second half stoppage time, he latched onto Pablo Pagis' pass and drove low into the bottom left to finish the job.

Avom ended with one attempt, one on target, 20 touches and 13 of 16 passes completed, plus an accurate cross. That tidy cameo helped Lorient sustain pressure in the final third until the final whistle.

Lorient host Le Havre next. Metz visit Nice next.
