# Jonathan David's Double Goal in Lille Thrash vs. Toulouse - Bentaleb and André Score

In a thrilling encounter at the Lillemetropolis Arena, Jonathan David’s double goal propelled his side to a commanding 3-1 victory over Toulouse in a highly anticipated Ligue 1 clash. The match, which was brimming with tension and drama, saw David rise to the occasion with two well-timed strikes that shattered Toulouse’s resistance and kept the hosts firmly in control.

The game started at a brisk pace, with both teams probing for weaknesses. Lille’s midfield trio of David, Bentaleb, and André worked tirelessly to break down a Toulouse defense that was organized but lacked the sharpness to exploit. The breakthrough came in the 15th minute when David, after a clever exchange with Bentaleb, fired a low shot past Toulouse goalkeeper Devector Tella. The goal electrified the home crowd, who roared in unison, and set the tone for a dominant performance.

David doubled his tally just before halftime with a clinical finish. This time, it was a beautifully orchestrated move involving Bentaleb, who slid a perfectly weighted pass into the box for David to slot home from close range. Toulouse, despite their best efforts to regroup, found themselves trailing 2-0 at the break.

The second half saw Toulouse pushing for a comeback, but Lille’s defense held firm, led by the commanding presence of midfielders and the sharp reactions of goalkeeper Léo Maillet. However, the visitors were dealt a blow when star striker Alexis de Vise pulled up with a hamstring injury, forcing them to shift tactics. This change in momentum allowed Lille’s attackers to exploit the spaces left behind, and Bentaleb capitalized on a defensive error to score a third goal for the hosts.

Despite the late goal, Toulouse refused to lie down, with former Lille midfielder Maxi Gómez reducing the deficit with a stunning strike from outside the box. However, the damage was already done, and Lille held on for a well-deserved 3-1 victory.

Jonathan David’s performance was a masterclass in composure and clinical finishing, and his double goal will be a moment that lingers long in the memory of Ligue 1 fans. With Bentaleb and André also contributing to the victory, Lille proved that they are a force to be reckoned with this season.
