Canadian Jonathan David scores a hat trick as Lille blanks Le Havre 3-0 in France
VILLENEUVE-D’ASCQ, France — Canadian international Jonathan David scored a hat trick to lift Lille to a 3-0 win over Le Havre in French Ligue 1 play Saturday.
The 24-year-old from Ottawa upped his season total to 11 goals in league play, tied for second place behind PSG star Kylian Mbappe’s 20.
David, who now has 16 goals in all competitions, exited to applause on the 75th minute at Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
Lille went ahead in the 13th minute off a free kick. Le Havre goalkeeper Arthur Desmas made a fine one-handed save to deny a header off the set piece but only managed to send the ball in the direction of an unmarked David, who knocked it home.
