Overview

• Lens scored through Wesley Saïd on a corner (28'), Florian Thauvin after a high recovery (43') and Rayan Fofana on a rebound (52').
• Lille suffered their first Ligue 1 loss of the season, short of captain Benjamin André and defender Alexsandro, with Romain Perraud also forced off early.
• Risser denied Félix Correia at point‑blank range in the 22nd minute and produced other key interventions that steadied Lens before the breakthrough.
• Sage restored Saïd and Fofana to the starting XI after bench roles in Paris, while Thauvin struck decisively in a showcase derby that also featured Olivier Giroud.
• The victory in a rain‑soaked Stade Bollaert-Delelis lifted Lens up the table provisionally as home supporters celebrated with fireworks near the ground.
