Osimhen misses penalty in Lille’s victory over Delort’s Montpellier

Victor Osimhen missed a penalty in Lille’s 2-1 triumph over Montpellier in Friday’s Ligue 1 showdown.

The 20-year-old, who was left out of the Great Danes’ 2-1 defeat to Chelsea on Tuesday was handed a starter’s role against La Paillade.

He justified his inclusion by orchestrating Lille’s lead after he was fouled in the penalty area by onrushing goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli.

Jonathan Ikone made no mistakes in converting the resulting kick as Christophe Galtier’s team went into the half-time break with a goal lead.
