Lens back up to third in Ligue 1 as Lyon held at Brest

SPORTS 02.11.2025

Lens shrugged off a midweek loss to beat Lorient 3-0 on Sunday and stay within two points of Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain, while Lyon lost ground after drawing away to Brest.

Text size:

Former Celtic and Crystal Palace striker Odsonne Edouard struck early for Lens before Wesley Said and Samson Baidoo scored late on for the hosts after Lorient forward Mohamed Bamba missed a penalty.

Lens had missed the chance to supplant PSG at the top on Wednesday after a 2-0 defeat by previously winless Metz.

Felix Correia netted his third goal in as many games to earn Lille a 1-0 win over Angers.

Lille are among a trio of teams four points back of PSG, along with Lyon, who held on for a 0-0 draw at Brest despite having Hans Hateboer sent off with just seven minutes gone.

Esteban Lepaul continued his fine run of form with a hat-trick to fire Rennes to a 4-1 win over Strasbourg.

Lepaul is the league's second leading scorer with eight goals, just one behind Strasbourg's Argentine striker Joaquin Panichelli.

Metz strung together successive victories to climb off the foot of the table, winning 2-0 at Nantes. Toulouse and Le Havre drew 0-0.
