The mid-table side took the lead after 34 minutes when Abdoulaye Doucoure converted into the bottom corner after getting hold of Foued Kadir's cross.

The lead was doubled after half time as Ola Toivonen crashed home a standout effort from distance.

The visitors confirmed the three points with just over 30 minutes to play, this time as Paul-Georges Ntep headed in from close range.

Reims did pull one back, but it was to prove a mere consolation, as Diego struck home from inside the box to leave the final score at 3-1.
