Lille's Jonathan David becomes top Canadian goal scorer in Champions League history




After scoring the winner against Real Madrid, Jonathan David came through with a pair of goals to help Lille beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday.

With the goals against Atletico, David became all-time top Canadian scorer in Champions League history with six goals, one more than Tomasz Radzinski, according to UEFA.

David, a native of Ottawa, came off the bench to replace Mohamed Bayo in the 65th, then converted a 74th-minute penalty kick for Lille's go-ahead goal at the Metropolitano stadium. His second goal, to seal the 3-1 victory, was a strike from inside the area in the 89th.

David's goal against Madrid on Oct. 2 also came from the penalty spot.

The penalty against Atletico came after a controversial handball inside the area, with the call taking several moments to be confirmed by video review.

The victory ended Atletico's 11-game unbeaten home streak at Metropolitano. Lille's win over Madrid had ended the Spanish club's 14-unbeaten run in the European competition and a 36-match unbeaten streak in all competitions.

Lille moved to 15th place in the league phase of the Champions League, while Atletico has just three points from three games.
