23-year-old Akor Adams failed to score for the first time this season as Montpellier hosted Reims.

Nigeria’s striker Akor Adams had a quiet outing as Montpellier struggled at home to Reims.

Adams fired blanks for the first time this season in a four-goal thriller against the visitors.

Reims came, saw and conquered Adams and Montpellier 3-1 at the Stade de la Mosson on Sunday afternoon.

Adams sat at the top of the scorer’s chart after hitting three goals in his two matches for Montpellier.

However, at home to Reims, the visitors proved too good as they caged the Nigerian striker for 90 minutes.
