Ligue 1 wrap: Lille streak continues, Auxerre down Nice

Lille’s good form continued after a 2-0 win over Dijon, while Auxerre beat Nice 2-1 in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

Rudi Garcia’s Lille extended their unbeaten run to six after they strolled to a home victory, with Moussa Sow and Eden Hazard getting on the scoresheet for the winners.

Sow got the opener on 17 minutes after Mathieu Debuchy supplied the assist.

The Senegalese striker’s 10th goal of the season in all competitions gave Lille a buffer heading into the half-time break.

Sow then turned provider 13 minutes into the second half, setting up highly rated Belgian midfielder Hazard to seal the result.

Elsewhere, Nice’s struggles continued as they slumped to their fourth defeat in five matches at Auxerre.

Dennis Oliech gave the hosts an early lead on 13 minutes but Gabon attacker Eric Mouloungui produced a quick response for Nice.

The second-bottom side had a chance to take the lead just before half-time but Argentine defender Fabian Monzon failed to convert his penalty.

And they were made to pay when Israeli forward Ben Sahar, formerly of Chelsea, bagged the winner with 25 minutes to go.
