RC Lens stretched its good series at home a little further…
The Bollaert public was spoiled on Tuesday. The Lensois supporters indeed saw their protégés take the scalp of Arsenal. Gabriel Jesus may have opened the scoring, but the Sang et Or overthrew the Gunners to win 2-1 and become the first French team to win at home against Arsenal in the Champions League.
Thanks to this victory, the Lensois also had a 34th consecutive home match with at least one goal scored. In the 21st century, RC Lens has systematically scored at Bollaert on the European scene and is even the club which has played the most home matches (24) scoring at least one goal.
