Andy Delort was Montpellier’s hero having scored twice in their 4-1 victory over Angers in Sunday’s French topflight encounter.
The hosts came into the encounter on the back on consecutive victories over Nice and Olympique Lyon. Against the Black and Whites, they continued with their impressive start to the season with the Algerian star wreaking havoc.
Defender Arnaud Souquet gave the hosts an 18th minute lead thanks to his long-range low effort after a one-two pass with Gaetan Laborde.
Not willing to stoop so low, the visitors equalised seven minutes later through Stephane Bahoken.
