Ligue 1: Lens beats Marseille to move second, closes gap to PSG

The Hindu  

RC Lens was too solid and clinical for Marseille in its showdown for the second spot in the French league. Lens, the team with the best home record this season, defeated the best side on the road 2-1 to leapfrog Marseille into the second spot and put pressure on stumbling leader Paris Saint-Germain. Goals from Seko Fofana and Lois Openda gave Lens a 15th home win and moved it two points above Marseille, and just three behind PSG. “There are many things that we have done wrong and that we need to improve.” The defeat ended Marseille’s unbeaten run of 11 matches away from home. Under pressure, Lens defender Kevin Danso was not fast enough in clearing a back pass and could not resist Sanchez’s challenge, giving the ball away to the Chile international.
