Sunday as his hat-trick secured Lyon's victory over
neighbours Saint-Etienne.
A hat-trick from Alexandre Lacazette earned Lyon a 3-0 victory
over Saint-Etienne in the Rhone derby on Sunday.
With Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain hammering Toulouse
5-0 to extend their lead at the summit on Saturday, Hubert
Fournier's men could not afford to slip up in the clash with their
local rivals a day later.
And Lacazette had a major role in dispatching a Saint-Etienne
side who have been inconsistent of late, opening the scoring
following a Loic Perrin slip four minutes before half-time.
When Stephane Ruffier spilled Rafael's effort just prior to the
hour, Lacazette converted the rebound before adding a third late
on when he collected Jordan Ferri's pass and rounded the
visiting goalkeeper.
Lyon - unbeaten in five league matches - remain 10 points off
PSG going into the international break with traditional
challengers Marseille struggling for consistency.
After consecutive wins, they were beaten 1-0 by Nice courtesy
of Valere Germain's 16th-minute winner, while Bordeaux came
from a goal down to beat Monaco 3-1 at the Stade Matmut
Atlantique.
Helder Costa opened the scoring 23 minutes in but goals from
Nicolas Maurice-Belay and Cedric Yambere turned the game
around before half-time.
Czech midfielder Jaroslav Plasil sealed the points with his third
goal of the season shortly after the restart as Bordeaux moved
11th - three points off their hosts, who are ninth.
