Dijon end Ligue 1 drought by beating Toulouse
Posted Thursday, December 22, 2016 by PA
Struggling Dijon secured their first win in nine Ligue 1 matches, beating Toulouse 2-0 at Stade Gaston Gerard to move out of the relegation zone.
Toulouse had most of the early pressure but Dijon gradually came into the contest.
Julio Tavares' 49th-minute penalty, awarded for Steeve Yago's foul on Tavares, put Olivier Dall'Oglio's side ahead.
Three minutes later Pierre Lees-Melou doubled the advantage, his header capitalising on goalkeeper Alban Lafont's parry after Mehdi Abeid shot from outside the box.
The hosts were able to maintain that advantage for a first league win since beating Lorient on October 22.
For Pascal Dupraz's Toulouse it was a first league loss in four fixtures.
