Eden Hazard scored a stunning solo goal as Lille came from behind to secure a 3-1 win St Etienne on Saturday at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
David Rozehnal's own goal gave the home side an early lead, but the dismissal of Loris Néry ten minutes before the interval allowed Lille a way back into the match.
The Belgian international collected a flicked header from Florent Balmont before slaloming through the St Etienne defense and applying a cool finish with his right foot into the bottom right corner.
Hazard then fired Lille in front on 73 minutes before a late strike from Ludovic Obraniak wrapped up the victory.
