LENS, France — Lens bounced back from a defeat to Marseille by beating Le Havre 1-0 and retaking the lead of Ligue 1 on Friday.

Ruben Aguilar volleyed the winner in first-half stoppage time. Adrien Thomasson had a goal disallowed in the second half after a video review due to a foul.

Paris Saint-Germain can return to the top at Strasbourg on Sunday.

Le Havre was unbeaten in its previous three games and remained 15th in the table.
