What a waste! Antoine Kombouaré's players are now 8 consecutive matches without a victory in Ligue 1. And yet, they believed they had achieved an exploit this Saturday in Lens before collapsing in the last minutes of the match (2-3).

The first half was a story of penalties. Lens opened the scoring through Frankowski (21st) after a foul by Douglas Augusto.

Then Moses Simon put the two teams back on level terms after Medina mowed down Cozza in the area (36th).

Pallois' blunder

The Canaries regained the advantage in the 71st minute. Cozza, again, adjusted the Lensois goalkeeper on a beautiful serve behind the inevitable Moses Simon.

Las. The Lensois first came back to the score through Ojediran (86th) before scoring a victorious goal in the 90th from Thomasson thanks to a completely missed back header from Pallois.
