The two Lensois scored nice goals, which will remain in the memory of the Sang et Or.

In the European legend of RC Lens, there are the victories, of course, against Arsenal or AC Milan. But also the goals, like that of Mickaël Debève in 1998, or that of Daniel Moreira a few years later.

In one or more decades, the goals of Adrien Thomasson and Elye Wahi against Arsenal will also appear in the best-of. Because they are important, already, but also very pretty.

Guilty of losing the ball on Arsenal’s opener, Thomasson was keen to redeem himself. “I didn’t lie to myself, I knew I was at fault, he admitted. My goal was a message for my teammates. » And a little gem too, since its replay placed in the opposite skylight is superb.

“Relaxation is important,” he explains. I like tennis. We often hear tennis players say that they are in the zone. On my shot, I was in the zone. »

Thomasson took advantage of a good delivery from Wahi on his goal. The former Montpellier player, in the second half, perfectly cut a cross from Frankowski to offer victory to his team. A decisive goal, which will do a lot of good for the confidence of the most expensive player in the history of the Sang et Or. And who knows if there won’t be more beautiful ones by the end of this European campaign …
