Lille ease past Reims

Lille have moved up to fourth place in the Ligue 1 table with a comfortable 3-0 win at home to Reims.

The hosts took the lead midway through the first half when Salomon Kalou showed good control to round goalkeeper Kossi Agassa before slotting in.

Dimitri Payet nearly doubled their advantage soon after, but his curled effort came back off the crossbar.

However, Payet did get on the scoresheet five minutes into the second half as he fired the ball into the top corner following a run that saw him glide past two defenders.

The victory was sealed 10 minutes from time thanks to Kalou, who capitalised on some slack defending to curl the ball into the far corner.
