Lens lose again ahead of Champions League date
Lens's difficult start to the new season continued as Mamadou Kone scored his first Ligue 1 goal to give Lorient a 1-0 win.
Lens suffered another loss ahead of their Champions League match, falling 1-0 to Lorient at the hands of Mamadou Kone's first Ligue 1 goal. The French club's new manager, Dino Toppmoeller, kicked off his tenure impressively with a 2-1 triumph over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions Trophy and a 5-2 victory against Auxerre in the league.
However, Lens' momentum was squandered, losing to Strasbourg and then to Lorient once again. Ahead of their trip to Slavia Prague for a Champions League fixture on Thursday, Lens displayed little resolve in their defeat. Monaco tops Ligue 1, having defeated PSG 2-1 on Friday, leaving Lens winless so far in the season. The Ivory Coast striker, Elye Wahi, secured a point for Nice with a 1-1 draw at home to Le Mans, while Mali midfielder Kamory Doumbia netted a brace as Brest defeated 10-man Le Havre 2-1.
