Lens Moves 1 Point Behind PSG in French Title Race After Beating Metz 3-0. Lyon Faces Paris FC
Lens secured a 3-0 victory at Metz to close within one point of Ligue 1 leader Paris Saint-Germain after PSG's recent 3-1 loss to Monaco, tightening the title race.
- RC Lens capped a fine week by beating FC Metz 3-0 on Sunday, moving one point behind Ligue 1 leader Paris Saint-Germain in a tense title race.
- After PSG's 3-1 home defeat to Monaco on Friday, nine rounds remain, opening the door for Lens to close the gap before hosting PSG on April 11.
- Saud Abdulhamid put Lens ahead just before halftime with a powerful half-volley following Abdallah Sima's build-up, then helped set up Florian Thauvin's goal early in the second half while Amadou Haidara made it 3-0 in the 52nd with Matthieu Udol.
- Florian Thauvin's recent form at Lens helped him re-enter the France team, and his goal against Azerbaijan last October bolsters his case for Didier Deschamps' World Cup squad later this year.
- After its 13-game winning streak ended last month, Lyon is now winless in four games and trails third-place Marseille on goal difference.
