RC Lens took a huge step towards securing an automatic spot in the Champions League group stage when they claimed a 3-1 comeback win at Lorient in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
Florian Sotoca, Adrien Thomasson and Seko Fofana struck after Romain Faivre's opener for Lorient as second-placed Lens, on 78 points, opened a five-point lead over third-placed Olympique de Marseille with two games left this season. Lens's victory also delayed Paris St Germain's expected title celebrations. PSG can move six points clear with two games remaining if they beat lowly AJ Auxerre later on Sunday.
The first two teams in Ligue 1 qualify for the Champions League group stage while the third-placed side enters the competition in the third qualifying round.
