Ghana defender Nathaniel Adjei heaped praises on FC Lorient fans for their tremendous support during their 2-1 victory at Stade Rennes on Sunday.
FC Lorient made a giant leap from the relegation zone following a 2-1 win against Stade Rennes at Roazhon Park.
Mohamed Bamba and French rookie Eli Junior Kroupi gave the visitors a two-goal lead in the second half, while Rennes' late consolation goal through substitute Amine Gouiri brought the score to 2-1.
The victory was a huge one considering the position of FC Lorient prior to the game.
The team from Brittany is now two points above the drop in 13th place with 25 points from 24 matches.
Adjei, who once again proved his mettle in the Orange shirt, took to social media to express his elation.
He took the opportunity to commendtheir traveling fans who jeered the team vociferous throughout the entire duration of the encounter.
The 21-year-old has given a magnificent account of himself in all the six matches he has featured for the side.
Since Adjei joined the team, their performance has greatly improved; they have won four games, drawn one, and only lost once.
The versatile guardsman will likely be used once more by coach Regis Le Bris when they play high-flying Olympique Lyon at home in Week 25 of the French Ligue 1 on Saturday.
