Lyon, who won (2-0) in Metz, returned to victory in Ligue 1 after four losses in a row, Friday at the start of the 26th day which also saw Nice kept at home against Brest (2-2).
Thanks to a penalty drawn by Dembele just before half-time (45 + 8th), then a goal by Houssem Aouar at the very end of the game (90 + 4th), Lyon, who remained on two draws and two defeats in the league , goes back to 6th place in the ranking (37 points) before the big matches of the weekend.
The Rhodaniens thus garner a little confidence five days from the reception of Juventus Turin Wednesday in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League.
For its part, Nice conceded the draw (2-2) at home in Brest, after leading 2-0.
At the opening of the scoring of Adam Ounas (23rd) and the second goal of Kasper Dolberg (33rd), the Bretons responded just before the break thanks to Samuel Grandsir, who caused after the resumption a goal by Dante against his camp.
The Niçois provisionally rank ninth (37 pts, as much as Lyon 6th) when they could have tied up with the contenders for European places.
The 26th day continues on Saturday with Marseille-Nantes (5.30pm). Lille receives Toulouse and Monaco goes to Dijon.
Sunday, the third, Rennes, receives Nîmes, before the end of the day at the Parc des Princes between Paris SG and Bordeaux.
