Khelifa hat-trick floors Montpellier

Reigning champions Montpellier 's
atrocious start to the Ligue 1 season
continued as Saber Khelifa and
goalkeeper Stephan Andersen
earned Evian a shock 3-2 win at the
Stade De La Mosson.
Marco Estrada and Souleymane
Camara overhauled Khelifa's opener
to give the hosts a 2-1 half-time lead
and raise hopes of only a third win
in eight league games this season.
But Khelifa equalised and, after
goalkeeper Andersen kept Evian on
terms with a string of excellent
saves, the Tunisia striker then
completed his hat-trick two minutes
from the end to inflict a fourth
defeat on Rene Girard's men.

Promoted Reims moved up to fourth
place in Ligue 1 with a 3-1 victory
over Nice .
Substitute Gaetan Courtet was the
hero with goals in the 87th and 93rd
minutes as Hubert Fournier's side
recorded their fourth win in eight
games since their elevation, leaving
them four points behind leaders
Marseille.
Diego had given Reims a first-half
lead, which Dario Cvitanovich
cancelled out shortly after the hour
mark.

Lille recorded only their second
league win of the campaign - and
their first at the new Grand Stade
Metropole - by beating Ajaccio 2-0 .
Nolan Roux headed them in front
three minutes before half-time and
Ryan Mendes doubled their lead in
the 56th minute.

Adrien Regattin grabbed a last-
minute winner as Toulouse came
from two goals down to draw 2-2
with Valenciennes.

Foued Kadir and Carlos Sanchez
scored inside the first quarter-hour
for the visitors, who would have
moved fourth with a win.
But the in-form Wissam Ben Yedder
cut the deficit with his sixth of the
season and Regattin's late strike
earned a point for Toulouse.
There was another late goal at
Bastia, where the home side edged
out nine-man Troyes 3-2 .
Rincon's own goal and Anthony
Modeste's effort saw Bastia twice
take the lead, only for Marcos to
equalise on each occasion.
But Fabrice N'Sakala and Xavier
Thiago were both sent off before
Toifilou Maoulida grabbed an 88th-
minute winner.

Mevlut Erdinc scored the only goal
in the seventh minute as Rennes
won 1-0 at Sochaux.
