Decisive figure hauls Lens level but Lorient hold firm | OneFootball

Odsonne Edouard equalised in the 48th minute with a right-footed finish, but Lens were beaten 2-1 at Lorient.

Before the interval he signalled his threat with a firm header that forced Yvon Mvogo into action from close range, attacking deliveries into the area with conviction.

He then took Mamadou Sangare's pass on the right and drilled low across the goalkeeper into the far corner, a sharp, one-touch finish that briefly reset the contest for the visitors.

Edouard stayed aggressive after the restart, seeing a drive from outside the box blocked as he looked to exploit second balls and loose clearances (62.).

He finished with three attempts, two on target, and five touches in the box. He also won possession twice in the attacking third, numbers that underline his constant presence around the penalty area and his willingness to press high.

Lens host Angers next. Lorient visit Toulouse.
