LILLE, France (AP) — Jonathan David added a hat-trick to become the season’s top scorer in the French league, although Lille had to resign with a 3-3 draw against Lyon on Friday.
Alexandre Lacazette, who came on as a substitute, scored two late goals that declared the tie.
Canadian forward David has increased his bill in the league campaign to 19 goals. He has one more than Kylian Mbappé, the star of Paris Saint-Germain and the France team.
Lille followed in sixth position, level on points with Rennes. This stage is the last that grants places for European tournaments.
Lyon settle in eighth place on goal difference.
“It’s disappointing that we didn’t get the three points tonight because we knew they would have been important in the run up to European tournaments,” David said.
This Saturday, the PSG, leader of the championship, goes to Brest, while Rennes faces Auxerre.
