Mariusz Stepinski scored the only goal of the game as Nantes moved out of Ligue 1's bottom three with a 1-0 win against Bastia.

Stepinski's first-half strike secured the hosts their first win since the opening game of the season.

Emiliano Sala played in Stepinski in the 18th minute and the Poland international slotted an effort under visiting goalkeeper Thomas Vincensini at his near post.

Allan Saint-Maximin went close to a leveller before half-time, but his shot hit a post and rolled into the arms of keeper Remy Riou.

The Nantes goalkeeper was the hero in the 87th minute when he produced a fine save to deny Saint-Maximin and secure a first win in seven.
