Lens stun Lyon 2-1 to end unbeaten run

RC Lens ended Lyon's unbeaten run with a 2-1 victory, courtesy of a Florian Thauvin assist double. Thauvin first set up Florian Sotoca to open the scoring in the 36th minute, before turning provider again for Matthieu Udol to make it 2-0 on 76 minutes. Despite Udol receiving a red card in the 84th minute and Khalis Merah immediately pulling one back a minute later, new manager Yannick Cahuzac held on for his first home win. The result lifts RC Lens to seventh, while Lyon miss out on top spot and remain second with 11 points.
