The poster kept its promises and the Lensois public lived up to it Tuesday evening during Lens-Arsenal. It was the Gunners who struck first, taking advantage of an error by Thomasson on a poorly negotiated pass with a goal from Jesus (0-1, 14th). A real cold shower.
Stunned, the Lensois reacted, pushed by their public, thanks to very high-level collective action, worthy of the Champions League. On a bad pass from Raya, the ball quickly returned to Wahi who magnificently deflected off Thomasson, who did not hesitate to capsize Bollaert (1-1, 25th).
In the second half, after a huge save from Samba a few minutes earlier, Wahi wowed the crowd by scoring the Northerners’ second goal at the conclusion of a magnificent collective movement (2-1, 69th).
