Early spark from one player drives Lille past Angers | OneFootball

Olivier Giroud put Lille in charge in the 11th minute with a crisp left-footed strike from outside the box, and the visitors beat Angers 2-0.

Giroud's opener came from Nabil Bentaleb's feed, the veteran steering a precise finish into the bottom right from range (11.). It settled Lille early and set the pattern for the half.

He kept stretching the back line, once straying offside as he looked to break the last shoulder (55.). His shift ended after the hour as he made way having done the damage (63.).

The centre-forward finished with one attempt and one goal, plus three successful final third passes from six overall, underlining tidy link play alongside that decisive strike.

With that platform established, Lille sit third and host Paris Saint-Germain next. How high would you rate Giroud's display?
