Brest have improved their chances of avoiding relegation in Ligue 1 with a 2-1 win over Nantes on Sunday.

The result means that the Bretons, who were relegated from the top flight last season, now have a better chance of staying up than ever before.

Nantes had taken the lead through a penalty from Benjamin Mendy, but Brest fought back to take the lead thanks to goals from Mathieu Debuchy and Dany N'Doye.

Despite being behind, Nantes pushed hard to try and snatch a draw, but Brest held firm and secured all three points.

The victory is a huge boost for Brest, who will be hoping it signals a turn in fortunes under new manager Michel Der Zakarian.

It also comes at a crucial time for the club, who are currently ninth in the table and just two points above the relegation zone.

With a tough run of fixtures coming up, the victory could help to lift spirits among the players and fans alike.

Overall, it was a well-deserved win for Brest, and one that will hopefully give them a fighting chance of staying in Ligue 1 next season.
