Lille secured their place in the French Ligue 1 title race with a dominant win over Montpellier at Stade de Lille Ouest on Sunday. The match ended 2-0 to Lille's advantage, with goals from David and Abdoulaye Doucoure.

The victory was all the more impressive given that Montpellier had been one of the most formidable teams in the league this season. However, Lille proved to be too strong for their opponents, dominating possession and creating numerous chances throughout the match.

David scored the first goal of the game after just three minutes when he capitalized on some poor defending by Montpellier. The second goal came early in the second half when Abdoulaye Doucoure found himself in the box and slotted home from close range.

Despite being down 2-0, Montpellier did manage to score a consolation goal late on through a penalty kick. However, it was too little, too late as Lille held on for a deserved victory.

Overall, this was a convincing display of Lille's quality and class. They showed no fear against a tough opponent and emerged victorious. With only two games left to play, they will now look to consolidate their position in the top four and secure their place in the Champions League next season.
