Olivier Giroud settles Lille derby: Lille beat Lens 1-0
The 40-year-old struck in the 85th minute, his third goal of the season, to give Lille a tight 1-0 win over Lens.
A very tight Nord derby was decided in the 85th minute by Olivier Giroud, who at 40 years old found the net again to give Lille a 1-0 win over Lens. According to RMC Sport, the French striker scored his third goal of the season in a match where neither side managed to impose its game for most of the contest.
The victory lets LOSC take the regional derby against their northern rivals, and the spotlight falls once more on a player who remains decisive at an age when few are. RMC Sport has also published its commentators' reaction video on the match.
