Osimhen fires Lille back to winning ways against Dijon

Victor Osimhen scored the solitary goal in Lille’s 1-0 home victory against Dijon in Saturday’s Ligue 1 game.

The Great Danes have endured a miserable run of results lately, failing to clinch maximum points in their last five matches, including their Champions League defeat to Ajax on Wednesday, which ended their chance of progressing to the knock-out stage of the tournament.

The Nigeria international, however, inspired Christophe Galtier’s men back to winning ways at Stade Pierre Mauroy with his first-half effort.

Osimhen scored the only goal in the 45th minute from the penalty spot, shortly after returning to the field of play to receive treatment.
