Yilmaz stars as Lille wins 3-0 to move 4 points ahead of PSG

<p>PARIS &mdash; Burak Yilmaz scored an early penalty and added a superb long strike as French league leader Lille won at Lens 3-0 to move four points ahead of Paris Saint-Germain on Friday.</p>
<p>PSG must beat Rennes on Sunday to stay within one point of Lille. But even if defending champion PSG wins at Rennes, which is chasing fifth place and a Europa League spot, Lille can seal a first title in 10 years by winning the last two games.</p>
<p>Yilmaz took his total to 15 league goals since joining from Istanbul side Besiktas last summer.</p>
<p>He struck with a penalty in the fourth minute and spun outside the penalty area to clip a brilliant dipping shot into the top corner in the 40th, moments after Lens midfielder Clement Michelin was sent off for a second yellow card.</p>
<p>Canada forward Jonathan David grabbed his 12th of the campaign with a sharp finish on the hour mark.</p>
<p>Lens dropped to sixth place to trail fifth-placed Marseille on goal difference, and is only two points ahead of seventh-placed Rennes, having played one game more than both sides.</p>
<p>Marseille is at Saint-Etienne on Sunday.</p>
