Champions begin defence with comfortable win
Bordeaux opened the defence of their Ligue 1 crown with an emphatic 4-1 win against Lens on Sunday night.
Les Girondins went ahead after 13 minutes through Brazilian attacker Wendell but Issam Jemma equalised six minutes before half-time.
Yoann Gourcuff restored Bordeaux's lead five minutes after the restart as Laurent Blanc's side got back on track.
Strikes in the final minute from want-away striker Marouane Chamakh and Gourcuff then gave the scoreline a flattering look.
