Ghana international Abdul Samed Salis returned from a game suspension to help RC Lens defeat Auxerre in the French top-flight on Saturday.
Salis missed the trip to Strasbourg after accumulating three yellow cards this season. Lens shared the spoils with Strasbourg in midweek.
However, the midfielder's return saw Lens return to winning ways as they keep the pressure on league leaders Paris Saint Germain.
Przemyslaw Frankowski's penalty on the hour mark was enough as the hosts secured all three points at the Stade Ballaert-Delelis.
Reacting to the win, Salis took to social media and said, "Win by all means. Mentality RC Lens,"

The Black Stars midfielder has missed only one game in Ligue 1 this season, and it was through suspension.
His compatriot Gideon Mensah was not in the matchday squad for Auxerre.
