Lepaul and Embolo spark Rennes turnaround in two minutes | OneFootball

Rennes beat Paris FC 2-1 at Roazhon Park to stay fifth in Ligue 1 as Estéban Lepaul and Breel Embolo overturned a second half deficit.

Willem Guebbels put Paris FC ahead in the 53rd minute with a low finish from a tight angle. Lepaul levelled with a close-range header from Quentin Merlin's corner (74.). Embolo then swept in Arnaud Nordin's cross (75.).

Kevin Trapp kept Paris FC in it before the interval, palming away efforts from Sebastian Szymański and Lepaul. Rennes threatened repeatedly from set pieces before the breakthrough.

Franck Haise's changes swung the game, with Nordin adding pace on the flank and creating the winner for Embolo.

Guebbels later departed injured, with Ciro Immobile sent on in his place.

Rennes registered 14 attempts, with five on target. Paris FC managed one shot on target from 11 attempts.
