AS Saint-Etienne's fighting spirit | OneFootball

AS Saint-Etienne may be the side who have conceded the most opening goals in Ligue 1 Uber Eats this season, but they are also the team who have fought back to avoid defeat most often in this kind of situation. Focus on Claude Puel's pugnacious troupe...

AS Saint-Etienne know how to turn things around. Although Claude Puel's team have conceded a league-high 12 goals in Ligue 1 Uber Eats this season, they have nonetheless managed to avoid defeat six times in this situation (one win, five draws) - also a league-high figure in 2021-22. This strength of character has been confirmed recently as Les Verts have managed to save their bacon three games in a row: against Angers (2-2), Metz (1-1) and, most spectacularly, Clermont (3-2). In this category, Saint-Etienne are followed by Angers SCO, who have turned it around in five of the six matches in which they have conceded the first goal (one win and four draws).

Behind PSG In terms of points earned after conceding the first goal, Paris Saint-Germain are at the top of the list. The capital club have managed to avoid defeat four times, taking 12 points (four wins) after conceding the opener; no team has done better this season. But in this category too, ASSE are well placed. With eight points - of their total of nine for the season - after conceding the opener (one win and five draws), Saint-Etienne are just behind PSG. The podium is completed by Angers SCO (one win and four draws), Olympique de Marseille (two wins and one draw) and OGC Nice (two wins and one draw), with seven points each.
