Lens win Como Cup with come-from-behind victory over Villarreal
Lens win Como Cup with come-from-behind victory over VillarrealLife under new manager Dino Toppmller has got off to a good start for RC Lens, after the club won the second annual Como Cup yesterday evening by defeating Villarreal 3-1. Lens needed to come from behind after Ayoze Prez opened the scoring in the 4th minute. Goals from Matthieu Udol, Florian Thauvin, and Rayan Fofana meant that Lens would end the preseason tournament unbeaten.In the first game of the Como Cup, Lens came up against former manager Pierre Sage, who left them this summer to join Crystal Palace. There was more than a hint of revenge to the way Les Sang et Or dispatched the Premier League side over the course of the 45-minute game, scoring three unanswered goals. In their next and penultimate game, Lens were held to a 0-0 draw by Portuguese side Famalico.Lens have two more friendlies scheduled, with a match against Trophe 1906 and Sunderland; after that, they will then take part in Frances curtain-raiser on the 16th of August, when they play Paris Saint-Germain in the Trophe des Champions.GFFN | Nick Hartland
