After weathering the early pressure from the visitors, it was Clermont who created the best chances, but Chevalier pulled off a string of fine saves, while Jim Allevinah hit the post from a difficult angle in the 50th minute.

Allevinah also had an attempt saved by Chevalier in the 36th minute, and unable to find a way past the keeper, Clermont are now without a win in their last four games.

Lille stretch their unbeaten run in Ligue 1 to nine games.

Clermont remain second from bottom on 11 points.
