Jonathan David scores twice with Lille in Strasbourg (3-0) and becomes top scorer in L1 with 9 goals

But yet the essential is elsewhere. A week after offering the North derby to his family, the former La Gantoise player allows LOSC to temporarily climb to sixth place in the standings and finally look towards European places. Individually, this double ensures him the top scorer ranking with 9 goals, pending the performances of the weekend from Parisians Kylian Mbappé and Neymar but also from Lorient’s Terem Moffi (8 goals each).

After his double at the start of the championship against Auxerre (4-1), Jonathan David remained silent in the next four matches. But Paulo Fonseca maintained his confidence in him, and he took it well because the Canadian has since remained on a very good series of seven goals in six matches. “He’s one of the smartest players on this teamrejoiced the former coach of Roma on Prime Video. He understands where the spaces are, he knows how to take depth. I am very happy with his work. This is really what the team needs right now.”

“I feel good right nowalso underlined the Lille striker. I like the game plan (note: 4-2-3-1), it gives me a lot of freedom. I know my teammates have a lot of quality in the last pass. Afterwards, it’s up to me to concentrate on finishing the action well. I know that even if the game is difficult, I will have at least one chance.”
