Rodrigue Ninga scored a hat-trick as Montpellier were held to a 3-3 Ligue 1 draw against a battling Dijon at Stade Gaston Gerard.

The 23-year-old striker fired home Jerome Roussillon's cross after 18 minutes and made it two seven minutes later after collecting Morgan Sanson's pass in the centre of the box and picking out the top corner.

The hosts pulled one back when Geoffrey Jourdren put into his own net when under pressure while Ninga fired into the bottom corner to complete his treble just before the hour mark.

But an 81st-minute own goal from Anthony Vanden Borre and a late equalising header from second-half substitute Yohann Riviere stole a point for the hosts.
