Lens’ third and final goal was a little cheeky.
Tolgay Arsenal did most of the hard work chipping the ball over the keeper which was heading into the back of the net after taking a deflection.
Lens decided to rob Tolgay of his goal but considering it was his first assist since 2010 we can give him the benefit of the doubt.
