David scores hat-trick as LOSC, Lyon play to draw
Published
Jonathan David took over the Ligue 1 goal-scoring lead with a hat-trick performance in Lille's 3-3 draw with Lyon on Friday.
The goals took the 23-year-old Canada to 53 across all competitions for the club, taking him to second all-time in LOSC history, passing Belgium forward Eden Hazard at 50.
All three goals came in the second half with the first coming in open play in the 46th, followed by penalties in the 61st and 79th.
Hazard's 50 goals came in 194 appearances. David's goals on Friday came in his 125th.
The goals make David LOSC's leading goal scorer in the 21st century and take him one goal up on Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappé for the Ligue 1 lead.
David only trails former France forward Pierre Pleimelding, who scored 61 goals for Lille from 1977 to 1981.
