The Lille leader has established his domination over Ligue 1 by crushing Bordeaux (3-0) on Wednesday on behalf of a frustrating 23rd day for Rennes (1-1 against Lorient) and Strasbourg (2-2 against Brest) who left spin the victory.

Lille, untouchable leader, brought back from Gironde a fifth straight victory.

The Mastiffs of Christophe Galtier are sure to keep their first place before the transfer of the runner-up Lyon to Dijon in the evening and the reception of Nîmes by Paris SG, current third in the championship (9:00 p.m.).

The strong Bordeaux defense held up the shock in the first period before slacking off against Yusuf Yazici (54th), scorer on a pass behind the championship's best passer, Jonathan Bamba.

The exit from injury of the Turkish striker, hit in an ankle, did not slow down the ambitions of Lille who doubled the bet on a backlash concluded by the young Timothy Weah (66th).

Jonathan David added strength (89th).

- Strasbourg cracks -

Tenth in L1, Bordeaux has three lengths ahead of its pursuer Montpellier who brought a point from Metz (1-1) thanks to Gaëtan Laborde.

The Hérault residents saved the furniture after conceding a goal after returning from the locker room, but they will still have to wait to regain the joys of victory.

This is their ninth consecutive game without winning.

Success also continues to flee Strasbourg, yet it got off to a good start with two goals scored through Adrien Thomasson (8th) and Jean-Eudes Aholou (70th).

But Thierry Laurey's players cracked up against Brest residents who arrived with low morale.

Gaëtan Charbonnier (83rd) and Jérémy Le Douaron (90th + 4) crucified the Alsatians, still glued to the fifteenth place.

Lorient also played a bad trick in Rennes who also had a great start thanks to Martin Terrier (14th), before being caught up in the last ten minutes of the game with a goal from Boisgard (83).

Decidedly, the Merlus love the end of matches, they who achieved two snatch wins last week against Dijon and Paris SG, on the same score of 3-2.

In a barrage position, the Bretons are one point ahead of Nantes, seventeenth on the road to Saint-Etienne in the evening.
