Londoners came into the matchday 6 competition in a very tight group. They knew that a draw would not be enough to secure their European hopes but a win would make them the top of Group D. Antonio Conte’s team managed to turn the tide and stage a remarkable second-half victory.
Chancel Mbemba scored the first goal of the match just before the half-time break. However, Clement Lenglet’s second half equalizer forced the French side to rethink their plans.
Despite the Ligue 1 team throwing everything at their Premier League counterparts, it was not to be. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, a midfielder, sealed the deal with a goal in the match’s last seconds.
Watch the moment that the Denmark international won and the Lilywhites topped the Group D.
How to win your group! ?
