Lille found the podium and Lyon colors after their success respectively ahead of Brest (1-0) and Nimes (4-0), Friday at the 17th day of Ligue 1. The North and have ensured a third consecutive victory in less 'a week (Dijon 1-0 Saturday, Lyon 1-0 Tuesday) which allows them to double Bordeaux and to slip temporarily to the 3rd place pending the other matches of the weekend. Christophe Galtier's men won with a goal from Victor Osimhen (16th). They could have won more widely without Gautier Larsonneur, the young goalkeeper from Brest, who made a great match, diverting including a penalty from Jonathan Bamba (90 + 3).
A doubling of Memphis Depay, the nightmare of Nîmes
Meanwhile, Lyon, on AC with three defeats and two victories in the last five games, has resumed its march forward, enjoying a doubling of Memphis Depay (16th sp, 64th), and, above all, a team of Nîmes adrift. The Crocos, reduced to nine in the first period after the two red cards dealt to Theo Valls (5th) and Gaetan Paquiez (40th), have once again sunk, a few days after the correction in front of Bordeaux (6-0).
The Gones largely and easily dominated the game but they had to wait until the last half-hour to crack the Gard club with goals from Depay, Aouar (71) and Andersen (79). Lyon climbed into the European ranks, in 5th place, while Nîmes slipped to 20th and last place with this tenth place match without a win. Saturday, the PSG, untouchable leader but little verve in recent times, will try to start a new virtuous cycle in Montpellier before the clash of Sunday between OM and Bordeaux.
