XtraTime Web Desk: Senegal’s Souleymane Camara hits an incredible record as the Montpellier forward has become the first player ever to score in 15 different seasons in France’s Ligue 1 in the 21st century.
The 36-year-old, who was making his sixth Ligue 1 appearance of the season, scored in stoppage-time with a clever dinked header in the 3-2 defeat at Lyon on Sunday.
“I am very happy to get involved and to score, because it’s been a long time,” Camara, who came on as an 87th-minute substitute, told the club website.
“It’s a shame to end up as losers and failing to get a point after some mistakes led to us conceding thrice.
“We have a very good squad, if we had taken the chances we had, we could have ended up with a draw or even win the match.”
The former Monaco, Nice and Guingamp striker has now netted 60 Ligue 1 goals and produced 31 assists in 404 games since joining Montpellier initially on a season-long loan in July 2007.
Back in May 2018, the veteran agreed a one-year contract extension that has taken him into his 12th season at Montpellier.
