The Lyonnais temporarily regain third place in Monaco, which moves to Reims on Sunday.
Olympique Lyonnais dominated Lorient 4-1 on Saturday with goals scored only in the second half, a success that puts Rudi Garcia's team in third place with two points ahead of Monaco pending the move of ASM Sunday in Reims, during the 36th day of Ligue 1. Houssem Aouar put OL on the rails of success (53rd). Lucas Paqueta (65th) and Bruno Guimares (71st from the penalty spot, 77th) gave more relief to this performance against the Merlus, seventeenth and first non-relegation who have only one point ahead of Nantes, current barrage.
