Lens allowed two goals in the first 13 minutes and bounced back in a superb second half to beat Toulouse 3-2 on Friday and keep alive slim hopes of a first Ligue 1 title since 1998. It was helped by the 17th minute red card for Toulouse midfielder Yan Ghobo. Lens has matched reigning champion Paris Saint-Germain for much of the season but two defeats in its last two games dented its title aspirations and it needed to take all three points against a team that shipped seven goals in its last two matches.
