Lille suffered their third consecutive defeat in the UEFA Champions League, going down 4-2 at home to Galatasaray in a damaging result for the French side.

The hosts twice took the lead through a brace from 19-year-old winger Soriba Diaoune, raising hopes of a much-needed result. However, the Istanbul giants fought back to take control of the contest. Yunus Akgün, Aleksei Batrakov and Victor Osimhen all found the net for the visitors, while Nabil Bentaleb inadvertently turned the ball into his own goal to complete Lille’s nightmare evening.
