Karamoh scores winner as Bordeaux down Angers

PARIS: Yann Karamoh scored an injury-time winner after dribbling from the halfway line to give Girondins Bordeaux a 2-1 win at Angers in Ligue 1 on Tuesday.

The 20-year-old forward, who is on loan from Italian side Inter Milan, turned quickly towards goal after receiving a pass and sprinted down the left before cutting inside a defender and finishing confidently in the 92nd minute.

It was his third goal in 13 league games this season and helped move Bordeaux up to 11th place.

Nigerian forward Samuel Kalu put Bordeaux ahead in the 31st minute and Croatian midfielder Mateo Pavlovic equalised midway through the second half.

Moments earlier, Angers midfielder Jeff Reine-Adelaide had a penalty saved by goalkeeper Benoit Costil. It was awarded following a video review.

Angers, who had drawn their six previous league games, are in 15th place.
