PARIS — Elye Wahi has showed why Lens paid so much money to sign him with a superb goal in a 1-0 win at Strasbourg in the French league. The 20-year-old striker's 19 league goals for Montpellier last season earned him a move for 35 million euros. His first goal for Lens came in the 16th minute. He took a pass from forward Florian Sotoca, back-heeled the ball past defender Gerzino Nyamsi and finished powerfully. Lens rose to 13th place. Coach Franck Haise's side also earned a boost ahead of Tuesday's Champions League home game against unbeaten Premier League side Arsenal.
