5th vs 6th, Rennes then happy for successive games at home with Lille visiting Rose and Park.
Bruno Genesio's men dispatch Strasbourg 3-0 but the recurring theme of late has been home joy
followed by away day blues. A chance to snap that win-loss six-match sequence. Lille faced the best
home record in the division on the back of themselves seeing a six-match unbeaten streak
ended at Nice and a damaging draw with Clermont on Wednesday. Rennes with a five-point cushion
ahead of Les Dogues to protect. Palafonseca desperate for loss to close the gap in the
fight for European competition and yet they shot themselves in the foot. Ligue 1 Uber Eats
centurion Gouiri the fastest Rennes goal in just 26 seconds since Gaillan at Grenoble in 2009
and he hit in 20. The perfect way to start your 100th league appearance and Rennes went in search
of more. The ball coming back to the Rennes number nine. Lucas Chavallier just sticking out a toe
to deny him a second. Lille finally came to life. Jonathan Bamba had not one but two attempts to
get through the red wall. Palafonseca looking slightly concerned at how open his defense was.
Gouiri curling. Chavallier down well and then on his feet to catch the cross. The number 19 having
a stormer of a first half just frustrated not to have added to his first. It came on 26 seconds
but Rennes had not won any of the last seven Ligue 1 Uber Eats games against Lille. Change
for Fonseca's side. They were hoping to continue the rot. A flowing move. A beautiful backheel
and Edon Zagrova with a huge moment in his Lille career beating Steve Mondonda on only his 11th
start since signing last winter for seven million from Basel. A first goal since late April last
year. Well Lille a completely different beast as Les Dogues laid siege and after scoring
Zagrova sets up Remy Cabela. He had a tough time of late with the Lille number 10 on hand
to give Lille the lead. That came with just five minutes to go. Deep into stoppage time though.
Losk would after one, two, three times of asking. It was Andre Gomez to get his first goal
in 84 appearances not having scored since his time with the Toffees. Will Lille reborn as
they inflicted Rennes first home defeat since the opening day in the season against Lorient.
The Bretons had won 10 straight. Lille puncture them to make the fight for Europe a very interesting one.
