The club sealed the emphatic win without one of their most important players, Nigeria's Terem Moffi.

Moffi watched from the bench as his teammates ran riot in what was a one-sided affair at the Stade Henri Desgrane.

Lorient players celebrate the win.

Other scorers on the day for Lorient include Mali's Ibrahima Kone, Stephane Diarra, another 20-year-old, Adil Aouchiche, and super sub, Adrian Grbic.
