Mothiba ends five-month goal drought with brace as Strasbourg hammer Nimes

Lebo Mothiba ended his five-month goal drought with a brace in Strasbourg's 4-1 victory over Nimes in Saturday's Ligue 1 encounter.

Mothiba who last scored a goal in a league match against Nantes on May 24, starred for the hosts with a goal in each half of the encounter.

The 23-year-old forward who was on parade for 90 minutes, doubled Strasbourg's lead just before half-time and later sealed their win with his 85th-minute effort.

The game was Mothiba's 12th outing in the French top-flight this season and his contribution steered the Stade de la Meinau outfit out of the relegation zone to 16th in the log with 15 points after 13 matches.
