Savanier scores sweet volley then gets red card as Montpellier beats Toulouse

Teji Savanier scored a goal-of-the-season contender and was sent off as Montpellier won at Toulouse 2-1 in the French league on Friday. The veteran midfielder caught a cross from the left with the sweetest of volleys to put the visitor ahead after 26 minutes. Thijs Dallinga equalized for Toulouse with a powerful header seven minutes later and Savanier's sending off 20 minutes into the second half looked to have swung the game in the direction of the home team. A minute later, Toulouse center back Rasmus Nicolaisen was red-carded for a second bookable offense.
