Victor Osimhen came off the bench to outshine Saint-Etienne duo Denis Bouanga and Ryad Boudebouz as his brace ensured Lille earned a 3-0 victory in Wednesday’s Ligue 1 encounter.
The Nigerian delivered a goal in each half to help the Great Danes forget memories of their defeat at Amiens SC.
Manager Christophe Galtier started Loic Remy ahead of Osimhen but an injury to the former France international saw the 20-year-old thrown into the fray.
Expectedly, the former Wolfsburg man did not disappoint as he placed Lille ahead with his 37th-minute strike thanks to Domagoj Bradaric’s assist.
