Lille has stormed past Rennes in the French football league, thanks to a late goal from Jonathan David. The match was played at Stade de France in Saint-Denis and saw Lille take the lead early on through a header from Florian Thauvin.

However, Rennes fought back and were level before half-time. But Lille refused to give up and came out stronger in the second half. They took the lead again just after the hour mark when David headed home a cross from Kamil Glik.

Rennes tried their best to come back but Lille held firm and secured all three points. The victory puts Lille top of the table and leaves Rennes in third place.

David's late goal was his first for Lille this season and he will be hoping to continue his impressive form as the team looks to push for a top-four finish. It was also a special moment for him as it marked his debut for Lille against his former club Paris Saint-Germain in January.

The win was also important for Lille, who have struggled recently in the league. With only one point gained from their last four games, they needed something positive to lift their spirits. The victory is sure to boost their confidence going forward.

Overall, it was a dominant performance from Lille, who showed their quality and determination against Rennes. The win is a big step towards securing a top-four finish and could set them up for a strong run in the Europa League.
