Jonathan David did well to come for the holidays.
In the middle of the February holidays, the Canadian from Lille almost single-handedly outclassed Le Havre.
Certainly, the Normans had the first opportunity after two minutes and ten seconds and a little success could have changed everything.
But Samuel Grandsir, who started alone at goal, came up against Lucas Chevalier who knew how to close his angle perfectly (3rd).
Gaining confidence, Le Havre then tried to play high and press the Northerners.
But these good intentions did not reach the quarter of an hour of play
Then, the Jonathan David show began, taking everything in its path: suspense like the Normans.
It all started with an axial free kick sent to the far post by Ounas on the head of Yoro.
In one second, the revelation of the season and that PSG would like to bring next season, handed to the opposite post for Jonathan David who opens the scoring (1-0, 14th).
This is the Canadian international's ninth goal in Ligue 1 this season.
And not the last.
Because just before the break, the Englishman Angel Gomez, with a marvelous through ball, sent David to present himself in front of Arthur Desmas.
Quicker, the Losc attacker got ahead of Delmas and scored a double (2-0, 44th).
The second of the season after the successful one against Clermont.
At the break, Adam Ounas enjoys it.
“We knew how not to concede a goal at the start of the match.
Now we would have to score a third goal to kill the match.”
All you had to do was ask and take care of it yourself.
Because the Algerian takes charge of obtaining a penalty four minutes into the second half by causing a mistake from Opéri.
The inevitable David takes care of the sentence.
Desmas reads his shot well on the penalty and goes to his right.
But David follows the ball and manages to score with his left foot (3-0, 49th).
With eleven goals, he joins Lyonnais Alexandre Lacazette and Monegasque Wissam Ben Yedder in second place in the scorers' ranking.
Far from Kylian Mbappé and his 20 goals.
Triplets, Jonathan David has already achieved a few in his career.
But never a quadruplet.
Neither in the Gantoise jersey, nor in that of Lille or the Canadian tunic.
In the 60th minute, he finally achieved this feat.
Served with a sloppy pass by Gomez, his header is pushed away by Delmas.
And his recovery immediately hits the Le Havre post.
So much for the quadruplet.
A quarter of an hour from the end, his coach Paulo Fonseca, not necessarily sensitive to personal statistics and more sensitive to his squad management, takes him off the field to replace him with Yazici (75th).
Under the perfectly deserved ovations from the Pierre-Mauroy stadium.
