Nantes 3-1 PSG: Alban Lafont becomes 13th player to earn 10/10 rating from L'Equipe

Nantes goalkeeper Alban Lafont became only the 13th player to earn a perfect 10/10 rating from French newspaper L’Equipe following a magnificent performance against Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday night.

Nantes stunned the Ligue 1 leaders, racing into a 3-0 lead before half-time thanks to goals from Randal Kolo Muani, Quentin Merlin and Ludovic Blas.

Neymar pulled a goal back for PSG early in the second half through Neymar, who also had a tame penalty saved by Lafont on the hour-mark.

PSG had all three of their superstar forwards on the pitch but Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe were also frustrated by Nantes’ impressive ‘keeper.

Lafont, the 23-year-old who was born in Burkina Faso and has represented France at every youth level from Under-16s through to the Under-21s, produced the standout performance of his career so far and earned a flawless score from L’Equipe, whose player ratings are notoriously harsh, in the process.

A two-minute video of Lafont’s highlights from Nantes’ 3-1 win over PSG have emerged and you can watch it here:
