Simon reacts to wonder goal
Meanwhile, Simon has given a cheeky reaction to his ‘Goal Of The Year’ contender after the game against Rennes, claiming it was not majestic but came at the right time, Daily Post reports.
“I can’t say it was magical because I already did it against Lens (2022-2023 season). So, I think it was the perfect moment, especially in the derby,” he told DAZN.
“We needed the points, that’s the most important thing for us. We got them, and we are very happy.”
Simon has now scored four goals this season for Nantes in 13 league appearances for the Ligue 1 club.
