Some African stars were among the goals in Sunday's fixtures in the French top-flight

Lens star Seko Fofana, Angers winger Sofiane Boufal and Monaco's Sofiane Diop found the back of the net for their respective clubs in Sunday's Ligue 1 games.

Diop scored in each half of the 2-1 win at Stade de l'Aube to hand Monaco their maiden victory of the season after they lost their last two league matches.

The Senegalese and Moroccan descent fired the visitors ahead in the 40th minute to separate the teams at the break.
