And seven!
Lens won their seventh win in as many home games this season (with just one goal conceded).
His new victory against Toulouse (3-0) allows him to consolidate his good second place in the Ligue 1 standings. Voluntary but long clumsy, like the penalty missed by Fofana, the Lensois ended up finding the fault thanks to to winning coaching from Franck Haise.
Barely entered the game, the duo Florian Sotoca - Lois Openda proved decisive: the second opened the scoring with a header on a cross from the first (1-0, 61st).
And Racing sealed the score with a hat-trick from the Belgian at the end of the match (2-0, 86th) then (3-0, 90th +2)
The fact of the game
Rémi Dupré, the Toulouse goalkeeper did not let himself be carried away by the bluff of Seko Fofana, the Lensois captain when Racing had just obtained a penalty.
Dupré anticipated on his right and diverted the penalty (50th).
Curiosities, it is the third failure in five penalties struck since the start of the season by the Northerners and also the third rejected by Dupré in four attempts.
But that didn't discourage Franck Haise's men who finally found their way to the net ten minutes later.

The number 6
End of series for Philippe Montanier, the Toulouse coach.
Each time he had faced RC Lens, which he led between 2018 and 2020, he had never lost (two draws and four wins).
But this series finally stopped at six this Friday evening at Bollaert.
This Lens was really too strong.
