Lille secured their second win in as many matches this season, defeating Strasbourg with a resounding 3-1 victory at Stade de France on Saturday evening. The victory was a significant one for Lille, who had struggled to find form in recent weeks and were in danger of falling out of the top four.

The match got off to a slow start, with both teams struggling to create any real chances in the opening half-hour. However, things soon picked up as Lille began to dominate possession and create more opportunities. The visitors were able to break the deadlock just before halftime when Jonathan David scored his first goal for the club, slotting home from close range after a well-worked team move.

Strasbourg responded immediately, though, and levelled the score shortly after the restart. However, Lille were not to be denied as they continued to press forward and took the lead again through David just five minutes later. The French striker scored his second goal of the night moments later, curling a shot past the goalkeeper to give Lille a two-goal advantage.

Strasbourg did manage to reduce the deficit late on, but it was too little, too late as Lille held on for a comfortable victory. The result sees Lille climb back into third place in the table, while Strasbourg remain in seventh.

Overall, it was a strong performance from Lille, who showed that they have what it takes to compete against the best teams in the league. They will now look to continue their good form in the coming weeks and push themselves further up the table.
