Clermont have secured their place in the top flight of French football after defeating Nantes on Sunday.

The result was crucial for both teams, with Clermont needing to win to avoid being relegated and Nantes hoping to secure their safety.

Despite losing 2-1, Clermont fought back in the second half to level the scoreline before securing the win through a late goal from Mathieu Debuchy.
