Les Tefece got back on level terms when Jean-Daniel Akpa-Akpro teed up Wissam Ben Yedder, whose shot from the edge of the box found the top corner of Vincent Enyeama's net.

Lille edged back in front on the hour mark when Florent Balmont's cross reached Sofiane Boufal and his header beat Ali Ahamada.

Toulouse then produced a stirring late fightback as Oscar Trejo equalised on 81 minutes to boost the home side's survival bid.

Their push to avoid relegation was helped further when Danish forward Braithwaite scored two minutes later to seal a 3-2 win.
