PARIS: RC Lens moved up to second in Ligue 1 with a tenacious 1-0 victory at Olympique Marseille on Saturday as Franck Haise's team handed the home side a third straight loss after David da Costa scored a late winner.

The goal came against the run of play in the 78th minute when substitute Da Costa took a hopeful shot from distance which took a heavy deflection and looped over goalkeeper Pau Lopez to settle in the back of the net.

The result moved Lens to 27 points from 12 games, five points behind Paris St Germain, who beat Ajaccio 3-0 on Friday, while Marseille remains fourth a further four points behind. Agencies
