Seko Fofana scored a superb goal as unbeaten Lens continued their strong start to the Ligue 1 season by defeating Rennes 2-1 on Saturday to move top.

The Ivorian midfielder curled in a powerful 20-yard strike midway through the second half before Lois Openda sealed a third win in four games for Lens.

Ghana international Kamaldeen Sulemana rattled the crossbar for Rennes, who grabbed a consolation in stoppage time through Gaetan Laborde.
