Game: Olympique Lyon vs Le Havre ( Week 24 French Ligue One)

Final score: Lyon 3-1 Havre ( Ederson, Keita, Juninho/Loic Nestor)

French champions Olympique Lyon ended a winless run of four games at Stade Gerland as they beat Le Havre 3-1 on Sunday evening. Kader Keita, Ederson and skipper Juninho scored as Claude Puel’s side cruised to a comfortable 3-1 win. However their lead at the top of Ligue 1 stays at four points as PSG beat Monaco 1-0.

The week was not kind to Laurent Blanc’s Bordeaux though. They were held at home by Grenoble, and slipped to fifth in the table because PSG, Marseille and Toulouse all won their respective league games.

Ederson opened the scoring in the 34th minute and Ivorian international Keita doubled the lead on the stroke of half time.

Lyon had defender John Mensah sent off for a second bookable offence in the 71st minute, but that did stop them from adding one more. Skipper Juninho scored from 30 metres out in the 74th minute as Lyon went 3-0 ahead. Loic Nestor pulled one back for Le Havre in the 82nd minute, but it was to be of little relief to Frederic Hantz’s side, who were brought down back to earth after their stunning win over Rennes last week.
