Match Summary
Lille delivered one of the most emphatic away performances of the Ligue 1 season with a devastating 5-0 demolition of Toulouse at the Stadium de Toulouse. From the opening minutes, there was only ever one team in it, as Lille's pressing and clinical finishing overwhelmed a home side that had no answers.
The early goal set the tone, and a second before the half-hour mark killed the contest. A third immediately after half-time completed the demolition in all but name, and two further goals added gloss to a scoreline that could have been even worse.
