Dijon FCO’s Kwon Chang-hoon saved the team with his ninth goal of the season.

Dijon FCO visited Stade de la Beaujoire to face Nantes. Prejuce Nakoulma scored an opener in the 33rd minute and gave the host an advantage.

However, the 23-year-old Korean brought an equaliser to help the team avoid the defeat.

With this, Kwon found the net in three consecutive matches. Korea’s rising star recorded his previous two goals against Marseille on April 1 and Toulouse on April 8.

He is also left with only one more goal to reach the ten-goal mark. If he adds his name on the scoreboard in any of the remaining league matches, he will be the fifth Korean player in Europe to score ten goals in one season. Previously, Cha Bum-kun, Park Chu-young, Son Heung-min and Suk Hyun-jun have done so.
