Moffi's double not enough as Marseille edge Lorient in five-goal thriller

Terem Moffi scored two goals as Lorient suffered a 3-2 defeat to Marseille in a Ligue 1 encounter on Saturday.

The 21-year-old built on his consolation goal for Les Merlus in their 4-1 loss to Lens last Sunday, but his contributions once again were not enough as they await their first away league victory since October 17 when they defeated Reims 3-1.

Moffi opened the scoring at the Orange Velodrome in the 19th minute, courtesy of an assist from DR Congo's Yoane Wissa. The goal separated both teams at the break, but Marseille fought back and turned the game around after the restart.
