European review: Lens widen their Ligue 1 advantage while AC Milan surpass rivals Inter to gain Serie A lead
Lens widened their lead at the top of Ligue 1 to four points following a solid 3-0 win against Toulouse on Friday night.
Toulouse saw themselves reduced to 10 players after just 23 minutes when Emersonn received a red card, and Lens took advantage with goals from Wesley Said, Adrien Thomasson, and Ismaelo Ganiou, securing an easy victory.
This success places Pierre Sage’s squad four points ahead of the reigning champions PSG, who can narrow the distance to just one point with a win over Paris FC on Sunday.
In Italy, AC Milan moved ahead of their city neighbors Inter at the top of Serie A after a tight 1-0 win against Cagliari.
Rafael Leao netted the sole goal of the match in the 50th minute, granting them a victory that puts them two points above Inter, although they have played one match more.
Cristian Chivu’s team can regain the top spot on Sunday if they triumph over Bologna.
Meanwhile, in LaLiga, Rayo Vallecano and Getafe played to a 1-1 stalemate as the league resumed.
Jorge de Frutos put Rayo in the lead during first-half stoppage time, and the home side believed they had secured all three points until Mauro Arambarri’s equalizer in the 91st minute ensured both teams shared the points.
This outcome takes Getafe up one position to 10th, while Rayo moves up to 12th place in the standings.
