Lens Beat Nantes 3-0: Fofana Stars with Two Goals, Openda Provides Assist in Dominant Victory

Lens have won their third consecutive Ligue 1 match thanks to a dominant performance against Nantes at the Stade de Lens.

The hosts took the lead early on through a goal from Moussa Fofana, who showed his class by beating two defenders before slotting home.

The Frenchman's strike was followed up by a second goal from Benjamin Ouédraogo, who made no mistake after being set up by Fofana.

Ouédraogo's goal came just three minutes later and gave Lens a comfortable lead going into half-time.

The visitors did manage to pull one back through a header from Adama Diop, but Lens responded quickly with a third goal from Fofana.

The forward then added a fourth goal late on to secure all three points for his side.

Lens now sit top of the table and have a commanding lead over second-placed Monaco.

Fofana's two goals were both exceptional and will be cause for celebration for the Belgian international.

He has been in fine form this season and has already scored eight goals in all competitions.

Ouédraogo's assist also played a key role in the victory, as he provided the final touch to help his team claim a crucial win.

Overall, it was a comprehensive display from Lens and they will feel confident heading into the remaining fixtures of the campaign.

Their next game is away to Nice on Sunday, which should provide them with another chance to extend their winning run.
