Vincent Enyeama kept a clean sheet as LOSC Lille dispatched Nancy 1-0 in Ligue 1 on Saturday, ending a miserable run to claim a valuable win in a decisive six-pointer. The Nigerian stalwart had been on the receiving end of some negative remarks having conceded 14 goals since the beginning of the season, but reaffirmed his class with a strong showing. Prior to Eder’s winning goal on Saturday, Lille had lost their last four games and were in dire straits at the foot of the French table.

However, the win takes them up to seven points and provisionally above Lorient—who play on Sunday—to 18th on the standings. Nancy’s Cameroon goalkeeper Guy N'Dy Assembe was beaten by a 75th-minute penalty by Portugal’s Euro 2016 winning hero and Lille hung on for the crucial win during a nervy final quarter of an hour. Les Chardons have now failed to win in their last four matches and will be taking on reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain when the league returns from the international recess this week. Lille meet mid-table Guingamp after the international break, with Frederic Antonetti hoping that his side can build on the weekend’s triumph to pull closer to their opponents.
