Ten-man Dijon come back to rescue Ligue 1 point against Caen

Dijon claimed an unlikely point from their trip to fellow strugglers Caen despite trailing 3-1 at half-time and playing for almost an hour with 10 men.

Caen looked set for a rare victory in the French league as Ivan Santini's brace and a Yann Karamoh strike saw them in charge at the break against a Dijon side who had lost Arnold Bouka Moutou to a straight red card in the 31st minute.

However, the visitors, who had briefly levelled up the scores through Pierre Lees Melou just before Moutou's dismissal, turned things around in remarkable fashion in the second half to salvage a 3-3 draw.

Lois Diony gave them hope when he pulled a goal back in the 59th minute and then, nine minutes from the end, Alaeddine Yahia's own goal saw Dijon draw level.

Dijon might even have snatched a dramatic late winner but Julio Tavares saw his effort hit the bar.

They now move into 13th place - two points off the relegation places - while Caen are two places and one point behind their opponents on Friday.
