Nigeria international Vincent Enyeama has now gone 1035 minutes without conceding a goal in Ligue 1 following Lille’s 1 -  0 defeat of Marseille on Tuesday evening.

The 31 - year - old has kept 14 clean-sheets (includes 11 on the bounce) in his last 16 games, the second longest streak in the history of the French championship.

Vincent Labrune,president of Marseille has showered praise on Vincent Enyeama, who previously had not played an official game in the league before the start of the 2013 - 2014 season.

L’Equipe quoted Labrune as saying : “Vincent Enyeama’s performance? At this level, he’s a running gag. He has had an outstanding game.”

With the victory over Marseille thanks to Nolan Roux stoppage time strike, Lille are provisionally second in the standings, just one point behind table toppers PSG.
