Lens battled from behind to secure a 2-1 triumph against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League group stage at Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Tuesday thanks to a decisive Elye Wahi goal.
Wahi gave Lens the lead after 69 minutes. The striker finished to the lower left corner after combining with Przemyslaw Frankowski.
The victory for Franck Haise's side also came via a goal from Adrien Thomasson, with Gabriel Jesus on target for the visitors.
Jesus had opened the scoring for Mikel Arteta's men in the 14th minute. The striker finished to the lower left corner after combining with Bukayo Saka. But it proved a short-lived lead as Thomasson, who struck with a volley, hauled the sides level 11 minutes later. Wahi supplied the assist. That spurred on the hosts and the Wahi winner came after 69 minutes.
With Arsenal having failed to take anything from the game, the duo of Takehiro Tomiyasu and Leandro Trossard will rue not making the most of the big chances that came their way in the match.
