Lille comfortably picked up their seocnd Ligue 1 win of the season against Montpellier, who remain near the bottom.
Lille got back to winning ways in Ligue 1, seeing off struggling Montpellier 2-0 at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Friday.
Sofiane Boufal put the host - which entered the game with just one win in eight - ahead late in the first half, converting a penalty he had won himself in controversial circumstances – going to ground under Ellyes Skhiri's challenge despite minimal contact.
A Djibril Sidibe long-ranger gave Lille a cushion that proved useful as Montpellier piled forward late.
