""I'm quite happy with how we managed our second half because the first half left me a little unsatisfied from the moment we had a numerical advantage," said Sage. "It's true that the team showed maturity in building the game up until the moment they opened the scoring, and from that moment they were a little more open and we took advantage of that."
"Lens head coach Pierre Sage believes their 3-0 victory over 10-man Toulouse was "well deserved" after a mature performance away from home. Second-half goals from Wesley Said, Adrien Thomasson and Ismaelo Ganiou secured a routine win after Toulouse's Emersonn was sent off before the break. Lens are guaranteed to stay in top spot in Ligue 1 for at least the next fortnight, with the top sides in Coupe de France action next week."
Lens secured a 3-0 away victory over 10-man Toulouse thanks to second-half goals from Wesley Said, Adrien Thomasson and Ismaelo Ganiou. Emersonn's red card before halftime left Toulouse with ten players and shifted the game's balance. Lens are guaranteed to remain top of Ligue 1 for at least the next fortnight while several top clubs enter Coupe de France action. The team has now scored in 13 of 17 league matches this season, behind only Paris Saint-Germain. Head coach Pierre Sage praised the squad's maturity and called the win well deserved after stronger second-half management.
