When Gérard Lopez is not there, the people of Bordeaux dance.
And who other than the inevitable Andy Carroll to give the Girondins three points in their late match on the second day of National 2? On the pitch of the red lantern, Le Poiré sur Vie, Bordeaux was satisfied with a victory by the smallest of margins (1-0) thanks to a goal scored in the first seconds. And what a goal! At the edge of the area, Carroll curls his shot and finds the top corner. The English striker, who arrived in September to everyone's surprise, has already scored his seventh goal of the season – including two doubles – in five games this season.
With this third victory in nine games, a seventh match without defeat, Bruno Irles' men are fifth in their National 2 group B with sixteen points, tied with Blois (3e) and the Herbaria (4e).
Not sure that it will be enough to relieve the employees of the Girondins.
Andy Carroll saves Bordeaux again
