The new victim of the Blood and Gold is called Troyes.

A promoted helpless in the face of the intensity of his hosts and offensive inclinations always so sharp.

A third consecutive success at home, with the manner, which temporarily places Racing in 2nd place in the championship (24 points) ahead of Nice (23 pts) and Marseille (22 pts).

All with a Jonathan Clauss for great evenings.

Still shunned by Didier Deschamps, coach of the France team, the right piston delivered yet another high-level performance by distributing 2 assists for Kalimuendo (1-0, 14th) and Saïd (2-0, 29th), then by scoring with a header just before the break (3-0, 36 ').

The score, wide, could have been more at this time of the game as the Trojan defense was at bay.

The score did not change despite a last opportunity signed by Ganago (72nd) and multiple waves which continued to sweep over the rearguard of Laurent Batlles' charges.

An ideal evening, therefore, before the international break and the next deadlines, against Brest, Angers and Clermont.

Opponents disputing a maintenance now very far from the daily life of a very warm Lens in the leading quartet.

From a Lens in the race for Europe!
