Tunisia's Naim Sliti double helps Dijon remain in French Ligue 1

Naim Sliti scored a pair of goals in Dijon’s 3-1 victory over Lens in a Ligue 1 relegation play-off second leg game on Sunday.

After ending the season in 18th spot on the table with 34 points from 38 games, the Mustards escaped relegation by a whisker but could not secure an automatic stay in the French top-flight.

They lock horns with French Ligue 2 side Lens for a lifeline to continue their stay in the elite French division.

The first leg of the encounter ended in a 1-1 stalemate at Stade Bollaert-Delelis on May 30.
