"The decisive moment came in the 10th minute as Mbappe capitalised on miscommunication between the Marseille backline and goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli inside the box. Mbappe brought down a long ball from Nabil Bentaleb with a fantastic touch and curled his shot around Rulli, who was in no man's land after looking to claim the initial pass. It was a cagey affair between the two sides in Lille,"
"Data Debrief: Andre marks milestone in style Lille have won four consecutive games in all competitions for the first time since January-February 2021, when they went on a run of seven consecutive victories. It was also an impressive performance from Benjamin Andre, who made his 450th appearance in Ligue 1, and his 200th for Lille (96 with Ajaccio, 154 with Rennes). He won 10 of his 12 duels, four of his five tackles, and won possession 10 times in total."
