Rennes have stunned the footballing world by coming back from two goals down to defeat Reims 2-1 in Ligue 1 on Saturday evening.

However, it was not long before Rennes began to turn things around, as they managed to equalize through a goal from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the 77th minute.

And just when it seemed like Reims would be able to hold on for another win, Rennes scored again in stoppage time through a goal from Jean-Kévin Augustin.

The victory means that Rennes now sit second in the league table, level on points with Lyon, who also drew their match on the same day.

It is a remarkable comeback for Rennes, who had been expected to struggle in the top flight this season.

But with some key players returning to fitness and new signings making an impact, there is hope that Rennes can continue to surprise everyone and push for a place in Europe next season.

Overall, it was a thrilling and exciting game, and one that will go down in the annals of French football history as a true shocker.
