Largely kept silent before now, Moses Simon came to life to produce an assist for Kalifa Coulibaly in the 72nd minute to drag Nantes level again.
Four minutes later, the Nigerian international grabbed his goal to put Nantes ahead for the first time in the match.

The victory takes Nantes up to ninth on the Ligue 1 table, momentarily ahead of Lille pending the outcome of the match against fifth-placed Strasbourg.
