Super Eagles winger Moses Simon was on target for Nantes in their 3-2 away loss to Rennes, in the French Ligue 1 game on Friday night at Roazhon Park.
Despite an action-packed first-half, both sides failed to find the back of the net before the break, with the Canaries failing to convert from several set pieces that came their way.
The 24-year-old Nigeria international who made his 20th league appearance, scored in the 80th minute to put Nantes 2-1 ahead after an own goal by Damien Da Silva had put the away side 1-0 up in the 47th minute before Raphinha equalised for Rennes on 71 minutes.
They are just a point away from the fourth position, which is the Europa League spot.
