Terem Moffi has equaled Victor Ikpeba’s goal scoring record in Ligue 1, following his hat-trick against Bordeaux.
The Nigerian striker scored thrice for Lorient as they cruised past Girondins 4-1 on Sunday afternoon.
Before the game against Bordeaux, the 21-year-old had found the net three times in his last two league games.
He bagged a brace in his against Marseille, but his goals weren’t enough to stop his side from being beaten 3-2 away.
The Calabar born forward has now scored 14 goals in his first season in French football and in the process, equaled Ikpeba’s feat in a single season.
Ikpeba notched up 14 goals while he played for AS Monaco during the 1997-98 campaign.
With the result, Lorient moved four points clear of the relegation zone having earned 35 points from 34 encounters in the 2020-21 campaign.
