Lens missed the chance to go level on points with Paris Saint-Germain at the top of Ligue 1 on Saturday as they needed a late equaliser from substitute Adrien Thomasson to draw 1-1 away at Troyes.The northerners appeared to be heading for just their second defeat of the campaign after a goal from former Liverpool youth Yasser Larouci put Troyes — coached by the ex-Australia international Patrick Kisnorbo — ahead five minutes into the second half.Yet Thomasson, a January signing from Strasbourg, came off the bench to prod in a rebound two minutes from time and earn Lens a draw at the Stade de l’Aube.The result leaves Lens two points behind leaders PSG, who host Reims at the Parc des Princes on Sunday evening.Third-placed Marseille can now climb above Lens on goal difference with a win at home to fourth-placed Monaco in Saturday’s late game.🚨 Lens arrache le match nul 1-1 dans les dernières minutes face à Troyes grâce à Adrien Thomasson ! 🤝 pic.twitter.com/FU6plYB4fp— Cerfia Foot (@CerfiaFoot) January 28, 2023 Earlier on Saturday, Marseille announced that they had reached an agreement to sign Moroccan World Cup star Azzedine Ounahi from Ligue 1 rivals Angers.The fee for the midfielder is expected to be in the region of $10.9 million.LIGUE 1 – ROUND 20FridayLorient – Stade Rennais 2-1 (2-0)/Taibi 13, Le Bris 31 – Tait 73/SaturdayTroyes – Lens 1-1 (0-0)/Larouci 50 – Thomasson 88/23:00: (2.25) Olympique Marseille (3.50) Monaco (3.35)Sunday15:00: (3.25) Nice (3.20) Lille (2.45)17:00: (2.55) Auxerre (3.20) Montpellier (2.85)17:00: (2.45) Clermont (3.20) Nantes (3.25)17:00: (2.25) Brest (3.30) Angers (3.60)17:00: (2.35) Strasbourg (3.35) Toulouse (3.05)19:05: (4.80) Ajaccio (3.45) Olympique Lyon (1.80)22:45: (1.25) PSG (6.50) Reims (10.0)***odds are subject to change***
