Lyon defeated Angers 2-0 at home on Sunday with goals from Ernest Nuamah and Corentin Tolisso, moving to third place in Ligue 1. Paris FC beat Monaco 3-1 at Stade Jean-Bouin, with Lassine Sinayoko scoring twice and Pablo Pagis adding a third. Both victories narrowed the gap to PSG, who remain top after crushing Le Havre 5-1 on Friday.
Lyon now sits three points behind PSG and one behind second-place Lille. The club bounced back from a 2-0 defeat to PSG in their previous match. Coach Paulo Fonseca, seen in tears after the match, faces uncertainty with reports linking him to Portuguese side Sporting.
Folarin Balogun scored his first Monaco goal in the loss, coming off the bench at halftime. Lille defeated Lens 1-0 with a late Olivier Giroud goal, while Strasbourg routed Auxerre 5-1 to end a four-game losing streak.
