Morocco international Rachid Alioui got a brace as Angers beat Toulouse 2-0 in Wednesday’s French topflight encounter.
The forward put up a man-of-the-match performance to hand the Black and Whites maximum points at Stadium de Toulouse.
Following his sensational second-half treble against Saint-Etienne, Casimir Ninga was handed his first start by Stephane Moulin.
The Chad international almost put his team ahead in the 37th but he was denied by Gen Shoji’s last-ditch challenge after rounding goalkeeper Bapiste Reynet.
However, the right moment beckoned when Alioui replaced injured Cameroon forward in the 62nd minute.
