St Etienne went some way to reversing a recent slump with a convincing 3-0 win against Reims.

Having lost three of their last four in Ligue 1, Les Verts had to wait until the second-half to make a telling impact when Robert Beric slid home Nolan Roux's teasing cross.

And just five minutes later, the hosts doubled their lead when the unfortunate Prince Oniangue put through his own net, heading Valentin Eysseric's free-kick beyond his own keeper.

Maximum points were wrapped up in the final 10 minutes when another superb Roux pass released Eysseric and he cleverly lifted the ball over Johnny Placide.
