Things are high for Lens
What an incredible start to the Lensois season!
This symbolic success against Lille validates the work of Franck Haise and his group for three years now.
Still undefeated in this start of the championship, the Lensois took advantage of this derby from the North to climb provisionally on the second step of the podium, but above all to put an end to a shortage of 15 years without a victory in the championship against the rival Lille.
With a coach still inspired and players who respond present, Lens can aim high this season.

The Lensoise individualities at the rendezvous
If it was not the best match for Lens collectively, the individualities responded, starting with the Frankowski-Clauss pistons.
With incessant activity on the sides, they gave the men of Gourvennec a lot of trouble and Frankowski's goal validates this great performance.
Also worthy of note is the big match between the Fofana-Doucouré pair, which extinguished André and Xeka in the midfield, but also that of Medina who disgusted the Lille attackers with 8 duels won out of 10 contested.

New inadmissible images that still reflect a sad image of French football.
If the officials decided to let the game resume, sanctions are long overdue.

Same evils and same results for Lille
Decidedly, Lille do not succeed in this start of the championship. Four days after their encouraging draw against Wolfsburg, Lille fell back into their pitfalls. Little or no sharpness in front of goal like Leca's triple point-blank stop in the 67th, Lille are lacking inspiration in front of goal. In addition, the LOSC again showed its friability on the sides where Clauss and Frankowski had boulevards to attack. Gourvennec will have to find solutions quickly otherwise the pressure will increase ...
