Explaining the reason behind his substitution in the 23rd minute, Lille tweeted during the game that the number 7 made way for Loic Remy after suffering a suspected injury.

His goal against the Principality outfit took his goal total for the season up to 12 from 23 matches, with nine of the strikes coming in the French Ligue 1.
Loic Remy got on the scoresheet in the 45th and 86th minutes to help Lille seal their passage to the quarterfinal of the League Cup.
