FC Nantes winger, Moses Simon, is displeased with his team home defeat to Lyon, in their French Cup round of 32 clash on Saturday.
Nantes were bundled out of the French Cup after falling to a 4-3 loss to Lyon at Stade de la Beaujoire.
The Super Eagles star played the duration of the match and gave a good account of himself, having a hand in all three Nantes goals.
Lyon started the game the better side and raced into a 2-0 lead inside the opening nine minutes courtesy Rayan Cherki’s efforts.
The home team however reduced the deficit in the 16th minute after Renaud Emond connected well with a through pass from Simon.
Lyon then restored their 2-goal cushion eight minutes before half-time following Martin Terrier’s strike.
Moussa Dembele made it 4-1 for the visitors in the 69th minute after finishing off an exquisite through ball from Rayan Cherki.
The 24-year-old Simon led an unlikely charge late on and set up Imran Louza in the 82nd minute before scoring his side’s third to put Nantes within two goals of their opponents.
But it wasn’t to be for the Canaries as Lyon held on to progress to the round of 16.
Despite the defeat, Simon thanked Nantes fans for their support to the team.
