Saint Etienne 4, Le Mans 1
By: Richard | April 7th, 2008Great news;
Saturday, Saint-Etienne played the 31st match of the season (it’s important to note that both Saint Etienne & Lens are a game behind) against a powerful Le Mans team.
Former Liverpool striker Anthony Le Tallec put Le Mans ahead in the 32nd minute with a lucky goal. Midfielder Geoffrey Dernis (who had the best game he’s had all season) scored twice in the 42nd and 63rd before setting up Bafetimbi Gomis for his 11th goal of the season in the 56th minute.
This, combined with the game behind, puts Saint Etienne in a very good position.
Currently 9th (43 points) — if you (optimistically) factor in the extra three points that would come form a game-behind-victory, they would climb to 5th (46 points).
(I know, I know — always the optimist, but I’ve been right so far!)
Here are the highlights
Now for the numbers;
The first table here is the regular standings as of yesterday.
(31 games played, 43 pts)
If you look at overall goals scored so far (next table), we’re in 5th spot with 37
finally;
the embarrassing one; we’re at the very top of the “away losses” table with 11

This is great, I love what you guys are doing for the sport. Getting the info our there for everyone is such an important and often overlooked concept for Football. Sometimes when something excited happens I look around for others reactions and I see nothing but devils. Not an angel in sight, just me and the devils. Viva la St. Etienne!!!
