On a vibrant evening at Stade Pierre-Mauroy, Lille showcased their might with a dominant 2-0 win over AS Monaco during Matchday 10 of the Ligue 1 season. This triumph has propelled Lille to the 4th spot on the league table, accumulating 18 points from 5 wins, 3 losses, and 2 draws. Meanwhile, Monaco, after this setback, find themselves in the 3rd position with 20 points.

The game saw Iván Cavaleiro breaking the deadlock in the 32nd minute, setting the tone for Lille's aggressive approach. This momentum was further capitalized upon when Bafodé Diakité found the net in the 42nd minute, taking Lille to a comfortable 2-0 lead before halftime.

Several individual performances shone through the night. Edon Zhegrova was particularly influential, setting up both goals. With these two assists, he has now crafted three goal-scoring opportunities for Lille this season, the most by any player in the team. On the scoring front, Diakité's goal means he is now Lille's top goal-scorer this season with three goals to his name.

Lille's recent form in the French top flight has been nothing short of remarkable. They are now unbeaten in their last four Ligue 1 fixtures. Their resilience and consistency harken back to their impressive run from 14th May 2023 to 20th August 2023, when they went six matches without a loss.

More impressively, Lille has been a scoring machine. They've found the net in all 10 of their league games this season – a feat unmatched by any other Ligue 1 side. This consistency in front of goal extends further back, with Lille scoring in their last 13 league games, netting 19 times in the process. This formidable run is reminiscent of their 15-game scoring streak between 6th May 2022 and 23rd October 2022.

Defensively, Lille has also shown commendable fortitude. They've managed to keep clean sheets in half of their games this season. In this department, only Nice, with 7 shutouts, has fared better in Ligue 1.
