Osimhen put Lille in the lead with a fine finish in the 13th minute for his 10th league goal of the season and his first away from home.
His goal, however, could not save Lille who conceded two in the first half and another three in the second to lose 5-1.
In other Ligue 1 games, Super Eagles forward Moses Simon played the full 90 minutes as Nantes were beaten 2-1 at home by Angers.
