French side Lille made Champions League history following their 3-1 win over Wolfsburg on Wednesday night.
The win saw Lille reach the last 16 for only the second time in their history with former Manchester United striker Angel Gomes being among the goalscorers.
Jonathan David is the first Lille player to score in three consecutive Champions League games for the club.

Lille took the lead through Burak Yilmaz on 11 minutes with a ruthless counter-attack directly from a Wolfsburg corner. In-form Canadian striker Jonathan David added a second shortly afterwards, a third goal in successive Champions League games for the current leading scorer in Ligue 1.
England U21 international Gomes then struck 12 minutes from time to seal a comfortable win for the reigning French champions and Wolfsburg out of Europe.
