“Yes, I scored, but I would prefer to score a goal where the team wins after or to not score at all and we get three points."
Despite the poor result, the France international was pleased to have overcome a groin injury in order to feature.
He said: "It was so long for me. I was missing the game and now I am back much earlier than predicted.”
