On the west bank of the Scheldt, Clerfayt easily repulsed Charles Edward Jennings de Kilmaine's French column from Anzin. On the left flank, La Marlière's column, which included 3,000 soldiers brought from Lille, was able to seize Saint-Amand and drive its 4,000 Prussian defenders back to Maulde. The Duke of York led forward the 1st Foot Guards and 2nd Foot Guards to help block La Marlière's assault. Not knowing how the other attacking columns fared, La Marlière withdrew. The French suffered a loss of 2,000 men and some guns.
