Strasbourg hit Troyes for six as Amo-Ameyaw sparkles
Strasbourg thumped Troyes 6-2 away in Ligue 1 on Sunday as English winger Sam Amo-Ameyaw scored twice as a late substitute.
The 20-year-old Amo-Ameyaw, in his second season since joining from Southampton, scored in the 85th and 88th minutes.
Promoted Troyes had started their Ligue 1 campaign well with a win and a draw and took the lead on nine minutes through Antoine Mille.
One of Strasbourg's summer signings, Jacobo Ortega, tapped home a simple equaliser before the break for his first league goal since joining from Real Madrid.
The floodgates then opened, as the visitors produced a display of excellent finishing.
Two more summer recruits, Diogo Sousa and American starlet Giovanni Reyna, and loan signing Conrad Harder, also scored.
Strasbourg face league leaders Monaco next weekend.
In Sunday's late game, Marseille host ambitious Paris FC.
Reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain lost 2-1 at home to Monaco on Friday and are still without a win.
Lille won away at Toulouse on Thursday and Lens fell to a second straight defeat, losing 1-0 at home to Lorient.
