The coaches of Montpellier and Lens were both sent off for blocking the referee's view of the video review monitor during a turbulent 2-0 win for high-flying Lens in Ligue 1. With 26 minutes gone and visiting Lens 1-0 up on Friday, the referee showed a red card to coach Jean-Louis Gasset and counterpart Will Still as they blocked his path to the pitch-side monitor to disallow a second Lens goal. The unusual decision appeared to confuse both men but it made little difference to the result as Montpellier's recent revival came to a halt. A first-minute strike from Angolan striker M'Bala Nzola - the fastest in Ligue 1 this season - and Lens' second from debutant Jeremy Agbonifo after an hour were enough to secure the win. 02-01-25 1316
