Lens in front for most of the match
Lens beat Auxerre 5-2 and were ahead for 78 minutes. Auxerre were reduced to ten men when Christ Makosso was sent off in the 35th minute, and the xG split of 4.41 to 1.84 underlined the gap between the sides.
Thauvin opened the scoring and closed it out
Florian Thauvin's penalty in the 12th minute was worth +0.7 FN xPts and set the tone. Lens moved three goals clear and Auxerre pulled two back, but Thauvin converted a second penalty in the 88th minute to restore the three-goal margin.
Player of the match
Florian Thauvin 8.6Dominant
Two goals and an assist, with all three of his shots on target.
Thauvin scored both the opener in the 12th minute and the fifth goal in the 88th, each from the penalty spot. He also set up Saud Abdulhamid's goal in the 54th minute, so he had a hand in three of Lens's five.

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
