Nantes won third straight game for the first time this season by beating fellow relegation candidates Bordeaux 3-0. A win which help boost their chances of survival.
Kalifa Coulibaly headed Nantes in front in the 19th minute. A score they held going into the half time break but doubled it after the restart from the spot.
Randal Kolo Muani was fouled in the box and Imran Louza doubled the lead for the home side by sending the goalkeeper the wrong way from the spot in the 51st minute.
With Bordeaux pushing to reduce the tally to spark a late rally, it was Nantes who got the all important third goal with Nigeria international Moses Simon doing all of the job for Kolo Muani to score.
Simon now has ten goals contribution this season by virtue of six goals and four assists as 18th placed Nantes continue their quest to remain in the Ligue 1.
