Stade Rennes experiences a revival in Ligue 1, securing a convincing 3-1 victory over Reims and ending a five-match winless streak in the twelfth round of the French competition. 

Julien Stephan's team hadn't tasted victory since October 1st. They took an early lead with a goal from Algerian Amine Gouiri in the fourth minute.

Despite Reims equalizing in added time of the first half through Ivorian Oumar Diakite, Stade Rennes regained the lead at the start of the second half, courtesy of Benjamin Bourigeaud. 

The victory was sealed at the one-hour mark by Belgian Arthur Theate, further complicating Reims' European aspirations as they suffered their second consecutive defeat.
