However, Lille US quickly retaliated with a goal from Neymar less than two minutes later.
Despite appearing to have picked up an ankle injury, Neymar managed to assist Reus for another goal 18 minutes into the match.
Haaland then extended Lille’s lead to 3-1 with a powerful shot inside the box after 23 minutes of play.
