Lille, France's top-flight football club, secured their place in the UEFA Champions League group stage with a hard-fought victory over Angers on Saturday night.

In a thrilling encounter that saw both teams put up a spirited fight throughout, it was Jonathan David who emerged as the star performer for Lille. The forward scored two goals to help his team secure a crucial win against Angers.

David's first goal came in the 44th minute, when he finished off a well-worked move down the left wing before rifling home from close range. His second goal arrived in the 77th minute, after a fine individual effort that saw him cut inside and slot past the Angers goalkeeper.

The victory was a much-needed boost for Lille, who had struggled in recent weeks following a poor run of form. It also provided some much-needed respite for manager Christophe Galtier, who has faced criticism for his team's inconsistent performances this season.

Meanwhile, Angers will be disappointed by the defeat, which leaves them just one point clear of relegation at the bottom of the table. They will now face a difficult task in trying to avoid the drop next season.

Overall, it was another impressive display from Lille, who have shown they can compete at the highest level in French football. With David continuing to impress in attack, there is certainly potential for Lille to make a strong push for honours this season.
