Ligue 1: Thanks to Jonathan David and Rémy Cabella, LOSC crushes Strasbourg on its lawn (0-3)

Lille did not give details. This Friday evening, the LOSC very largely imposed on the lawn of Strasbourg (0-3), at the start of the eleventh day of Ligue 1. In a sold-out Meinau stadium, Jonathan David (41st sp, 76th ) and Rémy Cabella (80th) made their people happy. In the classification of the French championship, the Mastiffs climb to sixth position, a small point from the top 5, while the Strasbourgeois fall to fifteenth place.

There was Kylian Mbappé, Neymar but also Terem Moffi at the top of the ranking of top scorers in the elite. From now on, these three men are preceded by another. It was Jonathan David who took their property, with now nine achievements to his name. The Lille player reached this total, thanks to a penalty scored shortly before the break (41st, 0-1). Before finding the fault again, this time at close range (76th, 0-2). The Canadian international was even very close to taking care of his statistics a little more, but it was Matz Sels who had the last word during their duel (45th + 3). The Alsatian doorman was once again intractable in front of this same opponent, shortly before the hour mark (58th).

Big first for Cabella

Alongside David, another man also shone. Accustomed to framing his attempts since the start of this season, Rémy Cabella has continued his momentum. On the action of the break, he asked for the first time the last opposing rampart (76th), before managing to deceive him, with an uncrossed strike (80th, 0-3). For his very first goal under the colors of Lille. In additional time, Edon Zhegrova tried to join the party, but he lacked power in his shot (90th + 3).

Opposite, the Strasbourgeois, despite a certain desire and offensive situations, had a lot of trouble in front. Worse, they had to wait until the 87th minute to frame their first (and only) attempt. Kévin Gameiro, from the head, was the only one to solicit Lucas Chevalier. But the technical correctness and the inspiration were clearly on the opposing side. As for Chevalier, he had almost nothing to do and he therefore continues with a second consecutive clean sheet.

Lille is launched

Strasbourg, which had waited the previous day to sign a first victory this season (2-3 in Angers last Sunday), therefore falls back into its ways. The Alsatian club now has five defeats without forgetting five draws. Julien Stéphan’s men will have to react on the side of Toulouse, Sunday 23 (3 p.m.).

As for Lille, this is a great first. The Mastiffs had been used to alternating defeat and victory since last August. This time, LOSC has a second consecutive victory, after the derby against Lens (1-0) last Sunday, and this for the very first time since March. And why not consider the pass of three, Sunday 23 (8:45 p.m.), against Monaco.
