Lens triumphs after a scuffle

The Lensois won on Saturday evening in Clermont (0-3) after a tense end to the first period which saw the referee draw three red cards.

Before visiting the Arsenal Gunners next week in the Champions League, RC Lens was full of confidence in Clermont.

There Franck Haise’s team won 3-0 in Auvergne (13th day of Ligue 1), after losing Elye Wahi.

Author of the opening score with a lobbed header (0-1, 11th), the young Northern striker was sent off at the end of the first period for two warnings received in the space of a few seconds (45th+2 and 45th+ 3).

Elye Wahi notably clashed with Alidu Seidu, the Clermont central defender also seeing red (45th + 3).

In the process, referee Benoît Millot ordered a third expulsion, that of the Auvergne coach, Pascal Gastien (45th + 5).
