Jonathan David is no stranger to the spotlight when it comes to football. The Canadian forward has been a standout performer for Lille over the years, and his latest achievement could not have come at a better time.
David became the first Lille player to score 20 or more goals in a single Ligue 1 season on Sunday, as he netted two more against Strasbourg. This feat was accomplished despite the fact that Lille struggled to find much joy on the pitch during the match, with only one goal being scored by the visitors.
David's goal came early in the second half, as he capitalized on a defensive mistake from Strasbourg to slot home from close range. The goal was just the beginning of a dominant performance from David, who continued to dominate possession and create chances throughout the game.
This achievement puts David well ahead of Lille's previous record holder, Adama Diouf. Diouf scored 19 goals in the 2014-15 season, but he did so in a slightly different league (the French Championship) than David is playing in this year.
David's success at Lille has been nothing short of impressive, and his recent goal-scoring exploits show that he is capable of carrying the team to victory. With his performances in both the Premier League and Ligue 1, David is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after players in world football.
