Simon Moses might not as popular as Kylian Mbappe in the French Ligue 1 but the Nigerian winger is definitely making a name for himself.
Moses is having a brilliant individual season for Nantes so far and he registered his third league goal of the season in Nantes 3-1 loss at Metz on Sunday.
Kevin Van Den Kerkhof gave the home side the lead early in the game via a well-measured cross in the box from Matthieu Udol.
However, the lead only lasted a few minutes as Simon Moses equalised to restore parity and also to score his third for the season.
