Terem Moffi was on target as Lorient fell to a disappointing 3-1 defeat against Olympic Marseille at the Stade Orange Velodrome on Saturday night.
The 23-year-old Nigerian international gave Lorient the lead in the 29th minute of the encounter.
Marseille rallied to win the contest with Saed Kolasinac equalizing seven minutes before the break.
Alexis Sanchez gave the hosts the lead for the first time in the game on 53 minutes.
Jordan Veretout added the third six minutes later.
The Super Eagles forward have now scored 12 goals and recorded one assist in 18 league appearances for Les Merlus this season.
While Lorient, who look to clinch European football next season, remained in sixth position on the table despite the defeat.
