00:00While Lille are preparing for a massive Champions League game next midweek as
00:10they entertain the reigning European champions Real Madrid. They're before
00:16that looking to snap a five-game run without a win here against Le Havre
00:22Normandie today. Le Havre side who have had two wins and three defeats so far in
00:28this campaign of course for them it's all about making sure they avoid any
00:33relegation trouble and they've started in the right manner. Lille meanwhile in
00:39mid-table but they want to be higher up the standings than that. Gudmundsson drive
00:45forward here the Swedish full-back manages to dig out the cross and there's
00:49the header from David it's the first attempt on target. Comfortable save for
00:56Thiago Santos giving it to Edon Segurova. Really is one of the most
01:04exciting players in French football the cross into the box met by the head of
01:08Jonathan David that was looping into the top corner. Segurova winning possession
01:15back and in the end it was David who's already got four goals to his name this
01:21season looking to make it five. Scored 26 in all competitions in each of the
01:30last two campaigns Jonathan David. It's a good save. Lille have the first corner
01:36kick of the game. Decent delivery it comes to Alexandre who's shot comes off
01:44Jonathan David and the follow-up from this was the corner from Segurova
01:50Alexandre's shot came off David and then Andres follow-up effort came off
01:54Aruna Songonte the captain before Desmas made the block
02:05They are keeping possession well moving it from one side to the other. Segurova
02:09tries the shot well we've seen him do that around to the beginning of the
02:12season prepared to let fly from outside the box he was caught as he got that
02:17shot away. Abdoulaye Toure coming across to find Issa Soumare who's not as
02:26strong as Baforidi Akite. Lille come forward again. Sagarabi looking for
02:31David. Lille in front and the early pressure pays off with the finish from
02:36the inevitable Jonathan David. His fifth goal of the campaign in all competitions
02:45the player who scored a hat-trick and they have it after Diakite. One back
02:51possession just inside his own half Angel Gomez advancing towards the penalty
02:59box Osam Sagarabi with the first-time ball into the middle and David with the
03:04simple finish he's already been denied a couple of times by the goalkeeper
03:10Anto Desmas in the early stages of this game now he finds the break. At least
03:14to test Lucas Chevalier in the Lille goal. This might be the chance for them
03:19Juju's shot and Lucas Chevalier nearly let that. Antoine Juju
03:27Le Havre sold to the Italian club Parma in the summer transfer window.
03:32Benjamin Andre 34 years old now the Lille captain. Tremendous experience in
03:40Ligue 1. Segurova looking to make it 2-0. Segurova might get a second
03:44bite at this. Segurova initially thwarted by a brave bit of goalkeeping from Anto
03:52Desmas. It was Loperi who was at fault initially with the ball back the way
03:57Andrey Gomez that's a nice ball. Thiago Santos some really good incisive
04:10sharp passing from Lille and a stunning finish from Jonathan David. Goodness me
04:15what a goal that is
04:20Le Havre left mesmerized by Lille's one-touch passing giving the whole team
04:29no chance. Thiago Santos finding Sarraui and David probably onside but of course
04:36that will be checked out to the millimetre. When it does stand it'll be
04:44another assist for Oussam Sarraui for Jonathan David a sixth goal of the
04:49season all together for the Canadian
04:55he took that brilliantly
04:59Sarraui
05:08he's enjoying himself this evening he wins the free-kick. Clean sheet today
05:15Gudmundsson wins the free-kick challenge by Keita and it's going to be the first
05:23booking of the game for Yassine Keshetan who was born in Paris but goals last
05:29season albeit both of them in the same game
05:36Thiago Santos threads it through to David. Zhegova will pull the trigger first
05:40time. Zhegova has been joined by Jonathan David as Lille's top scorer on six goals
05:46apiece
05:50finally really
05:54the brace for Jonathan David as Lille's top scorer has them up 2-0
06:02first brace since May of 2024 against a none. So that's it with the goals from the
06:09Canadian. Take a short break we're going to come back with the highlights from the first half of football
06:13as Lille get us underway in the second half here in Normandy leading by two
06:19goals to nil and on course to snap that five-game winless run at all
06:24competitions
06:32two goals by Jonathan David both set up by Osam Sarraui. David's score of a hat
06:40trick. Browsed the crowd here and brought them back into it. Let's see if they can pull a goal
06:44back now. Operi with the delivery. The header from Soumaré
06:51Abdoulaye Touré pulls the trigger
06:56pushed up on the right-hand side. Sampy. Touchdown for Ngoura. Best chance that
07:03Laver have had in this game. Chevalier coming out to make the stop
07:10it's the chance for Ngoura and a save from Chevalier. As they look to stage an
07:19improbable comeback here. Kouziyev's delivery all the way towards the head of
07:24Ngoura. Such a raw talent
07:31a formidable presence of Touré
07:40the challenge coming in on Sarraui from Abdoulaye Touré. The referee is playing the
07:43advantage here but it would be surprised if he gives the card to Touré when the
07:47action does finally stop. The challenge coming in on Sarraui from Abdoulaye Touré
07:53the referee is playing the advantage here but it would be surprised if he
07:56gives the card to Touré when the action does finally stop. That ball was
08:01headed for a sixth straight win in meetings between the clubs
08:05Sabi. That needs to be a lot better than that from... It's important for Lille to play
08:14well it's important for them to get points on the board because the top three
08:17are setting a pretty furious pace at the moment. Zhegrovat's a fight cross and
08:22surely the hat-trick for David. He's done it.
08:27Well it was a simple finish it was really all about the delivery from
08:31Hiddon Zhegrovat and the hat-trick.
08:37They've been really quiet in the second half. L'Ave were looking for a way back
08:43into the game and then this. Jonathan David just peeling away from Itty and
08:47Ute in the middle. Zhegrovat coming back on to his favorite left foot and he just
08:55laid it on a plate for Lille's number nine who is warming up nicely for the
09:03visit of Real Madrid in the Champions League in midweek. A hat-trick this
09:06evening for him. 3-0 to Lille.
09:16It's the month so it's just not going to get any easier for Didier Diguera's team.
09:20It seems pretty clear that they are going to be in a scrap to stay up this
09:24season.
09:31Great footballing educations of course thanks to their father Wilfred Bakker to
09:35make it four. Desmas makes the save. Mitchell Bakker just not quite as lethal
09:40as Jonathan David who gives away the free kick. Minutes could build up play
09:45again. Andres Gomez to Angel Gomez and Mitchell Bakker denied by the outs.
09:51Broadly speaking on harder times albeit not of course were Cup winners very
09:56recently. Ethan Mbappe now to make it four and another. Broadly speaking on
10:01harder times albeit not of course were Cup winners very recently. Ethan Mbappe
10:07now to make it four and another. Coming late on from Artur Desmas and Bruno
10:12Genesio's team still pursuing that fourth goal might just get it here.
10:18Angel Gomez trying to dribble his way in. Artur Desmas and Bruno Genesio's team
10:25still pursuing that fourth goal might just get it here. Referee given. It's Cabella
10:31to Angel Gomez who gets the touch to take him away from the keeper is chopped
10:35down. Lille looking for the penalty.
10:42He's not brought down by the goalkeeper there. He should be able to finish off
10:47that chance. And Artur Desmas has made a...
