Rennes 1-1 Lille

Mevlut Erding's late goal earns Rennes a point against title challengers Lille.

A late Mevlut Erding goal has seen title challengers Lille drop points with a 1-1 draw at Rennes.

The hosts were reduced to 10 men towards the end of the first half when Onyekachi Apam picked up his second booking of the evening.

Lille capitalised almost instantly as Aurelien Chedjou fired in past Benoit Costil.

Eden Hazard could have doubled his side's lead before the break, but the Belgian was wayward with his effort.

Jires Kembo-Ekoko came close to an equaliser minutes into the second half when his drive forced a save from Mickael Landreau.

Despite the scare, Lille controlled much of the second period as Nolan Roux and Ireneusz Jelen were unsuccessful with their strikes.

However, Erding struck in the 90th minute to earn Frederic Antonetti's side a point.
