    The ball falls to Pasa in the penalty area after some neat work from Payet. The centre half acrobatically shoots on goal but his effort flies wide.

    WHAT A SAVE FROM GUAITA AGAIN!! Substitute Nolan Roux latches onto a cross into the penalty area and turns his header on goal. The Valencia custodian somehow manages to turn the ball away from under the crossbar and out for a corner.

    The hosts really are pushing for an equaliser now. They have seen all of the ball in the last five minutes or so but can't find the back of the net.

    WHAT AN EFFORT! Payet strikes the woodwork. The winger cuts in from the left and is given free reign to shoot by Ricardo Costa. The substitute duly abliges and whips a vicious effort across goal, leaving Guaita no chance, but the ball crashes off the crossbar and out for a goal kick!!

    That truly was an astonishing save. It was from point blank range but the keeper has somehow managed to read it and make the save.

    Great chance for Kalou. He receives a ball from the right and controls it brilliantly in the box under immense pressure. The Ivorian gets the ball out of his feet and lashes his effort on goal from 10 yards. Guaita somehow manages to get down to his right and palm the ball out for a corner.

    Tino Costa is booked for clattering into the back of Chedjou as he looked to win the header.
    80'
    In a game that has lacked quality, Digne really has shone tonight. He’s tucked in well when required and has ran tirelessly down that left flank, sending it some delightful balls.
    79'
    Martin shows great footwork in the middle of the pitch to break away from three challenges before feeding Digne down the left. The full-back whips in another dangerous ball from the byline but it is sent away by Victor Ruiz.

    Nolan Roux is Lille's third and final change of the night. Bruno is the man to come off.
    77'
    Guaita took a rather heavy hit from Victor Ruiz as he came to claim that and is down receiving treatment.
    76'
    Payet gets down the left, shifts inside of his man with Digne making the overlap and swings in a ball. Kalou looks to be getting on the end of it but Huaita is out to punch the ball into the chest of the former Chelsea man and out for a goal kick.
    75'
    Gago comes and claims the ball straight away, turns and ventures forward before being pulled to the floor by Gueye.
