PARIS (Reuters) - Lille's poor start to the Ligue 1 season continued as they slumped to a 2-1 defeat by Lorient on Friday, leaving the French champions with just one win from their first five games.

Burak Yilmaz equalised from the spot after Armand Lauriente's early opener but Jocelyn Gouvennec's side conceded a last-gasp goal from Terem Moffi that left them in 10th place with only five points.
