Ligue 1 Review:-: Lyon up to fourth, Caen winning streak ends

A routine victory over Toulouse sent Lyon up to fourth
in Ligue 1 and within two points of Caen, who missed
out on a fourth straight win.

Lyon are up to fourth in Ligue 1 after cruising to a 3-0 win over
Toulouse on Friday.

Hubert Fournier's men went into the game 10 points adrift of
leaders Paris Saint-Germain after finishing second behind the
capital club last season.

But they at least temporarily moved within seven points of the
defending champions with a routine victory over a struggling
Toulouse team.

Sergi Darder opened the scoring in the 18th minute with his first
goal since joining from Malaga in August by converting a clever
cross from Mathieu Valbuena, who made it 2-0 after 69
minutes.

Former Marseille playmaker Valbuena fired home from the edge
of the area before Maxwel Cornet rounded off the win late on
with a confident finish into the top-left corner.

Lyon are now within two points of third-placed Caen, whose
three-game winning streak game to an end with a 2-0 home
defeat to Nantes.

Yacine Bammou and Adrien Thomasson were on target for
Nantes, who themselves have now won three in a row and are
up to eighth.
