"Rasmus Nicolaisen fired a shot on target after just 45 seconds for Toulouse, while Emersonn failed to test Robin Risser after 11 minutes as the hosts looked to be building momentum against the league leaders. However, that all changed in the 22nd minute when Emersonn was given his marching orders after a late challenge on Odsonne Edouard near the halfway line, causing Toulouse boss Carlos Martinez to change his side's shape."
"Lens began to dominate and finally got their breakthrough in the 57th minute. Alexis Vossah could not control a pass in his own box and it fell kindly to Said, who curled past Guillaume Restes and into the far corner. Lens looked comfortable from there on in, obtaining 71% of possession in the second half, but captain Thomasson made sure of the win in the final 10 minutes,"
Lens extended their winning run in Ligue 1 to seven matches by defeating Toulouse 3-0. Toulouse began strongly with an early shot from Rasmus Nicolaisen and chances from Emersonn, but Emersonn was sent off in the 22nd minute for a late challenge on Odsonne Edouard. Lens grew in control and broke the deadlock in the 57th minute when Alexis Vossah failed to control a pass and Wesley Said curled the ball into the far corner. Adrien Thomasson added a second late and Ismaelo Ganiou finished in stoppage time to complete the win.
