Brazilian forward Neymar was sent off for the second time this season
Lille returned to the top of Ligue 1 with a crucial victory over title rival Paris St-Germain, who sent Neymar off in the later stages.
A deflected effort by 20-year-old Jonathan David opened the scoring for Lille midway through the first half.
Neymar from PSG and Tiago Djalo from Lille received the second yellow card at the end of the match.
Neymar appeared to push Djalo after the ball had gone out of play, and the Lille defender also saw red.
The French champions, who are aiming for four consecutive league titles, are now three points behind Christophe Galtier’s side with seven games to go for both clubs.
Having lost their last two matches, Lille, who last won the Ligue 1 crown in 2010-11, had apparently opened the door for title-chasing PSG.
Les Parisiens defeated Lille 3-0 in the Coupe de France in March, but Mauricio Pochettino’s team struggled to get going in the Parc des Princes.
PSG, who have lost 10 games in all competitions this season, will face Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the Champions League on Wednesday (20:00 BST).
