Greece striker Kostas Mitroglou scored
in injury time as Olympiakos came
from behind to beat struggling French
champions Montpellier 2-1 in the
Champions League Group B.
Gaetan Charbonnier's first Champions
League goal was not enough for the
hosts, with Greece defender Vassilis
Torosidis equalising in the 73rd with
his team's first shot on target.
It looked like both sides had seemingly
settled for a point, but Mitroglou had
other ideas, pouncing one minute into
stoppage time for victory after a costly
slip by Henri Bedimo.
Montpellier dominated possession in
the first half, with highly rated
midfielder Younes Belhanda showing
the kind of form that drew the
attention of some of Europe's top
clubs last season.
Olympiakos now have three points,
keeping alive their hopes of
qualification from Group B.
Montpellier, who are only a point
above the relegation zone in their
domestic league, prop up the section
with one point.
