Lorient were the first to threaten as Kevin Monnet-Paquet released a right-footed shot from a difficult angle, which was kept out by Zacharie Boucher.

Abel Aguilar went close for Toulouse as his shot from outside the box flew just over the bar after he was picked out by a cross from Etienne Didot.

Lorient were dealt a major blow when Alain Traore was shown a straight red card for a poor challenge on Aguilar, leaving the player needing treatment on the sidelines.

However, despite their one-man disadvantage, Lorient took the lead just before half time when Wesley Lautoa headed home from Yann Jouffre's delivery into the box.

The hosts' advantage was not to last too long, though, as Toulouse replied through Wissam Ben Yedder's headed effort in the 59th minute.

Toulouse went on to make their extra player count with Serge Aurier making it 2-1 in the 73rd minute, as he made the most of Ben Yedder's through-ball.

Martin Braithwaite sealed the visitors' victory in the 83rd minute when he fired home with his right into the bottom right corner, with Ben Yedder the architect again.
