American forward Balogun's 1st goal for Monaco not enough as Lorient earns 2-2 draw

United States forward Folarin Balogun's first goal for Monaco was not enough as the league leader conceded a last-gasp equalizer in a 2-2 draw at Lorient on Sunday. Monaco is only one point ahead of Brest, which moved up to second place after rallying to win 2-1 at Reims. Midfielder Pierre Lees-Melou grabbed the winner in the 56th minute. Balogun scored in the 69th after Aleksandr Golovin picked him out in the penalty area and he held off a defender before finishing with his left foot.
