Lorient scored four second-half goals to earn a resounding 4-0 victory over away side Guingamp in Ligue 1 this evening.
Valentin Lavigne grabbed a brace for the home side at the Stade du Moustoir.
Guingamp appeared the most threatening in the opening period, as both Claudio Beauvue and Mustapha Diallo had half chances to put the visitors in front.
Lorient went close too when Mathieu Coutadeur swung in a teasing ball, leaving defender Bruno Ecuele Manga to fly in and head well over the crossbar.
The hosts might have gone into half time 1-0 up, but Gilles Sunu somehow saw his shot saved at the bottom corner by Guingamp keeper Mamadou Samassa.
After a tame start to the second half, Lorient picked up the pace and soon found themselves in front as Lamine Kone picked out striker Benjamin Jeannot, who converted from a few yards out to make it 1-0.
The home side did not look back as Lavigne fired home in the 80th minute, which led to another two goals being scored in the final 10 minutes, as both Jordan Ayew and Lavigne netted to confirm a stylish win.
