Bordeaux loses 2nd straight league game; Saint-Etienne draws

Bordeaux’s miserable start to the season continued with a 2-1 defeat at Toulouse on Sunday for a second straight loss.

Two days after coach Gus Poyet was suspended for vehemently accusing the club of selling a player without telling him, Bordeaux lost to midfielder Matthieu Dossevi’s winner midway through the second half.

Striker Aaron Leya Iseka put Toulouse in front on the stroke of halftime, before Guinea forward Francois Kamano’s 50thminute goal gave Bordeaux hope.

Also, Senegalese striker Makhtar Gueye’s debut goal earned 10-man Saint-Etienne a 11 draw at Strasbourg.

Gueye netted in the 88th, four minutes after coming on, with Saint-Etienne trailing to a 55thminute goal from midfielder Anthony Goncalves.

Saint-Etienne had centre half Neven Subotic sent off after 18 minutes.

Strasbourg and Saint-Etienne have four points, while Toulouse has three.
