Lille handed Lyon their seventh defeat of the season in a 2-0 victory

Lille handed Lyon their seventh defeat of the season in a 2-0 victory, deepening Lyon's struggles and anchoring them at the bottom of Ligue 1. Jonathan David's opening goal and a spectacular strike from Tiago Santos secured the win for Lille at Lyon's Groupama Stadium. Despite a limited second-half fightback from Lyon, former Arsenal forward Alexandre Lacazette's lack of sharpness in front of goal epitomized their challenging season, accumulating just seven points from 12 games.

Lille's three points propelled them to fourth place, trailing Monaco by one point. Meanwhile, leaders Paris Saint-Germain thrashed Monaco 5-2 on Friday. In another fixture, Nice maintained their defensive prowess with an eighth consecutive clean sheet in a 1-0 win over Toulouse, keeping them in close pursuit of PSG. Nice's goalkeeper Marcin Bulka set a remarkable record by not conceding a goal in Ligue 1 for 723 minutes, while their defensive strength contrasts with a modest goal-scoring record of 14 compared to PSG's 34.
