Caen 1 - 2 Lille OSC: Yacine Benzia strike helps Lille to Ligue 1 victory at Caen

Yacine Benzia scored for the second game in a week as Lille continued a mini turnaround in form with a 2-1 win at Caen.

Having gone six games without a win prior to the midweek 1-0 victory against St Etienne, Les Dogues secured another maximum points haul which saw them move out of the bottom three.

Sofiane Boufal was instrumental in the opener and his delivery picked out the unmarked Benzia, before the former Lyon man added a second when Remy Vercoutre could only push Boufal's effort into Benzia's path.

Caen made it a tense final 20 minutes when Andy Delort pulled one back from the penalty spot but Lille held on to move two points clear of the drop zone.
