In a heated French league match, Canadian striker Jonathan David scored two penalties for Lille, moving into third place on the club's all-time scoring list. However, Lille was unable to hold the lead, with Montpellier's Arnaud Nordin scoring an equalizer in the 5th minute of stoppage time. The game was marred by red cards and altercations.
PARIS — Canadian striker Jonathan David scored twice but Lille had to settle for a 2-2 draw Sunday when Arnaud Nordin grabbed the equalizer for rock-bottom Montpellier in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time in an ill-tempered French league game.Moments after Nordin's goal, a player from each side was sent off.
David scored a penalty in each half for Lille, which is unbeaten in 13 games overall and remained in fourth place. David slotted it into the top right corner to move to nine league goals — one behind Paris Saint-Germain's Bradley Barcola atop the scoring chart — and 99 in 205 matches overall since joining Lille four years ago.
A clumsy challenge from Jordan Ferri on Matias Fernandez-Pardo led to the first penalty, and David tucked it calmly into the left corner.
