Angers spoiled Lyon's final Ligue 1 game at the Stade
Gerland with a victory that moves them into second
behind Paris Saint-Germain.
Lyon's final home league game at the Stade de Gerland ended in
defeat as a Cheikh N'Doye brace earned Angers a 2-0 win on
Saturday, the visitors moving within five points of leaders Paris
Saint-Germain.
The seven-time French champions are leaving their traditional
home for the new Stade des Lumieres next month but marked
their final league outing at their old home with a disappointing
defeat to the French top flight's surprise package.
N'Doye moved to five league goals for the campaign with his
double on Saturday - scoring after 17 and 81 minutes to leave
the hosts winless in four league outings.
Whistles rang around the venerable venue afterwards, with
Monaco's 2-1 victory over Bastia making matters worse.
Leonardo Jardim's men leapfrogged Lyon into fourth, Lacina
Traore on target twice inside the final 18 minutes before Julien
Romain's late consolation made life difficult for the visitors at
the Stade Armand Cesari.
Lorient edged a thriller 3-2 at Toulouse, leaving the hosts firmly
in the relegation mire after Benjamin Jeannot's brace and a late
Walid Mesloub winner.
Jeannot's double cancelled out a Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik opener
and earned the visitors the lead before Wissam Ben Yedder
levelled prior to the hour mark. Mesloub had the final say
however when he struck 14 minutes from time to send Lorient
seventh.
Toulouse sit three points off safety in 19th while rock-bottom
Troyes picked up their sixth point of the season thanks Jessy
Pi's equaliser at Reims, securing a 1-1 draw after Nicolas de
Preville had opened the scoring.
Lille made it back-to-back wins as Yassine Benzia's brace
helped to record a 2-1 win at Caen while John Tshibumbu
equalised late on as Gazelec Ajaccio salvaged a 1-1 draw
against Nantes.
