PARIS (Reuters) - Lois Openda's stunning return to form continued when the Belgium striker's double helped RC Lens move up to second in Ligue 1 with a 3-0 home victory against bottom side Angers on Saturday.

Openda, who last weekend ended a two-month scoreless period by netting a hat-trick in five minutes against Clermont, struck both sides of the interval after Sekou Fofana's opener.
