Lens has reclaimed the top spot in Ligue 1 following a dominant 5-1 victory over Angers on Friday, dislodging Paris Saint-Germain. The impressive performance saw Florian Thauvin score once and provide two assists, while Odsonne Edouard netted a brace.

This decisive win revitalizes Lens’s pursuit of their first French title since 1998, especially after recent setbacks against Lorient and Monaco. Thauvin initiated the scoring early in the 13th minute, marking his fourth goal in six appearances, setting the tone for their commanding display.
