PSG fail to defend title as Lille are crowned Ligue 1 champions

Lille are officially champions of France after a 2-1 win over Angers at Raymond Kopa on Sunday.

Jonathan David fired Lille into the lead in the opening 10 minutes against Angers.

Burak Yılmaz converted from the spot-kick ahead of half-time to put the newly-crowned Ligue 1 champions in control of the title race.

Angelo Fulgini pulled one back for Angers in injury time, but Lille held on to secure a crucial 2-1 win at the Raymond Kopa.

Paris Saint-Germain who have dominated their domestic league over the last decade and won the Ligue 1 title for the last three seasons finished in second place on 82 points, while Monaco and Lyon finished third and fourth respectively in Ligue 1.
