Florian Thauvin Scores and Assists in Lens’ 2-1 Comeback Win Over Paris FC in Ligue 1

France World Cup winner Florian Thauvin celebrated his 300th Ligue 1 appearance in unforgettable fashion. The forward was the standout performer in Lens’ 2-1 comeback victory over Paris FC on Matchday 8 of the French league, scoring a goal and providing an assist to secure a crucial win at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis.

A STUNNING GOAL TO CELEBRATE 300 LIGUE 1 APPEARANCES

The match appeared to be slipping away from Lens, as the Sang et Or went into halftime trailing after Luca Koleosho put Paris FC ahead in the 45+2nd minute following a combination with Lassine Sinayoko.

However, Thauvin stepped up to change the course of the game. In the 63rd minute, the French forward combined with Thorgan Hazard, received the return pass, and cut inside before unleashing a powerful left-footed strike from outside the box. The ball found the back of the net beyond Obed Nkambadio, who had no chance of stopping the precise finish.

The goal carried special significance, as it came in Thauvin’s 300th appearance in France’s top flight. Throughout his Ligue 1 career, the forward has represented Bastia, Olympique de Marseille, and Lens.

THAUVIN AND HAZARD COMPLETE THE COMEBACK

The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner still had another surprise in store. In the 83rd minute, Lens captain Thauvin linked up with Hazard again, but this time they switched roles.

Thauvin delivered a cross from the right flank, allowing Thorgan Hazard to finish with his left foot and put Lens ahead 2-1. Their connection helped the home side complete the comeback and claim three valuable points against one of the teams making an impact in the league this season.

Thauvin’s performance proved decisive in preventing Paris FC from securing the win and maintaining its position among Ligue 1’s leading teams.

LENS CLOSES IN ON THE TOP OF LIGUE 1

With the result, Lens reached 13 points after eight matches, moving within one point of the group of five teams that shared the top of the standings before the Matchday 8 fixtures.

For Thauvin, it was a double celebration: he reached a milestone in French soccer and once again demonstrated his attacking influence. With a goal and an assist in his 300th Ligue 1 appearance, the forward delivered a memorable performance that reaffirmed his importance to Lens.
