What a way to come back!
Florian Thauvin and Odsonne Edouard were the stars of a spectacular night. Lens left no room for doubt and, with a resounding 5-1, regained first place in Ligue 1 this Friday.
Thauvin, with a goal and two assists, and Edouard, author of a double, destroyed the Angers defense. It was a show of strength that the team needed to forget recent setbacks.
“Lens is seeking its first French title since 1998, but its challenge has weakened in recent weeks with defeats to Lorient and Monaco.”
This victory is a clear message for everyone. After some difficult results, the team has responded on the pitch. They have shown that the winning mentality is still intact.
Overtaking Paris Saint-Germain in the table is no small feat. It requires perseverance, ambition and games like this, where everything goes well. Angers, which has accumulated five defeats in six games, could not face the Lensois hurricane.
Now it’s time to keep this rhythm. The league is a marathon, not a sprint. But starting the weekend like this gives enormous confidence to the locker room. The path to the title is open again.
