Unheard of since Giroud!

The MHSC has its new scorer: Akor Adams scored twice on Sunday against Toulouse. The Nigerian striker has 7 goals after 10 days in Ligue 1, like Olivier Giroud 12 years ago.

This is the MHSC’s great discovery! Unearthed in Norway for 4.5 million euros (where he remained on 17 goals in 18 matches with Lillestrøm), Akor Adams made a good start to the season at the forefront of the Hérault attack. The 23-year-old Nigerian won Montpellier with a double when they hosted Toulouse (3-0) on Sunday for the 10th day of Ligue 1.

Adams is the second top scorer in the championship with 7 goals (behind Kylian Mbappé at 10) and symbolically becomes the first Pailladin player to total 7 goals after the first 10 days of the French championship since Olivier Giroud during the 2011-2012 season .

Obviously, the French international finished top scorer in L1 (21 goals) and Montpellier was crowned champion of France ahead of PSG (with three more points). Michel Der Zakarian’s team is far from playing the leading roles this season. His third victory allows him to move up to 10th position in the rankings.
