Lille Snatches Victory from Jaws of Defeat in Bitter Derby Showdown!

In-form Canada striker Jonathan David broke the deadlock with a penalty deep in stoppage time, sealing a dramatic 2-0 win for Lille at bitter French league rival Lens in the highly-anticipated Derby of the North.

David, who bagged his 11th goal in 16 appearances this season, calmly slotted the penalty past the opposing goalkeeper in the 93rd minute, sending the Lille faithful into raptures and securing all three points for his team.

The win was a hard-fought one, with both teams creating ample opportunities throughout the match. However, it was Lille who ultimately broke the deadlock, and they managed to add another goal in the dying seconds to seal the victory.

David's goal sealed the win for Lille, but the second goal was scored by a teammate who cemented the victory in the 96th minute. Lille capitalizes on the Lens defensive mishaps and capitalized on the counter-attack.

Despite Lens's dominant start to the season, they were unable to break down Lille's resolute defense, which proved impenetrable for the majority of the match.
