Ligue 1: Ethan Mbappé is forgiven, and sends Lille in the lead

Thanks to a late goal from Ethan Mbappé, Lille won 2-0 against Troyes this Sunday and takes sole lead in Ligue 1.

The week ends well for Ethan Mbappé and Lille. Excluded this week in the Champions League, during his team’s defeat against Betis (2-3), the young French striker allowed his team to win 2-0 against Troyes this Sunday, during the 4th day of Ligue 1. A goal not entirely insignificant, since it allows Losc to take sole control of the ranking by ahead of Monaco and Rennes on goal difference.
