Ligue 1 2024-25: Trouble mounts for Lille as it follows French Cup exit with loss to struggling Le Havre

The Hindu  

Four days after its humiliating French Cup exit, Lille completed a week to forget on Saturday with a 2-1 loss at home to last-placed Le Havre in the French league. Goals in each half from Egypt forward Kouka and Senegalese striker Issa Soumare – his first for the club – helped Le Havre end its nine-game winless run across all competitions and climb off the bottom of the table until Sunday at least, when fellow struggler Montpellier visits Strasbourg. It followed that by rallying from a goal down to beat St. Etienne 4-1 in the French league’s 20th round last weekend. Monaco lost 4-1 at league leader Paris Saint-Germain on Friday while St. Etienne lost 0-2 to visitor Rennes on Saturday.
