Lille see off Lorient for third straight win

Lille made it three successive wins for the first time this season with a comfortable 3-0 victory against Lorient at the Stade Pierre Mauroy.The hosts raced in to a first-half lead when Florent Balmont's superb cross was nodded home at the back post by Eric Bautheac.And Lille all but wrapped up the points with little over 10 minutes played in the second-half when Bautheac pounced for his second after Benjamin Lecomte had parried Yacine Benzia's effort.There was still time for the hosts to round off a successful evening late on when Djibril Sidibe added a third on 84 minutes after playing a neat one-two with Sofiane Boufal.
