In the latest round of action in France's top-flight league, Jonathan David and his Lille side claimed victory over Strasbourg on Sunday evening. The match was played at Stade Pierre Mauroy in Lens and saw both teams battle it out for a place in the next round of the competition.
David, who has been one of the standout performers for Lille this season, was again at the heart of their attacking play, creating chances for his teammates and scoring twice himself. His first goal came in the 57th minute, after he received a pass from Florian Thauvin and beat the Strasbourg defense to slot the ball past the goalkeeper. He then added a second in the 86th minute, converting a penalty after being brought down by a defender.
The victory means that Lille will move into the next round of the competition with just three games left to play. They currently sit fourth in the table, six points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain, but they have already secured a spot in the Europa League thanks to their impressive form throughout the season.
Strasbourg, meanwhile, remain in danger of missing out on European football this season. Their defeat means that they will finish outside the top eight and therefore miss out on a place in Europe's premier club competition. They still have two more matches to play, so there is still hope for them to secure a place in the Europa League, but it will be tough against some of the best sides in Europe.
Overall, it was a strong performance from Lille, with David once again standing out as one of the key players in their success. It remains to be seen how the rest of the team perform in the remaining fixtures, but their win against Strasbourg gives them a great chance of progressing further in the competition.
