Lyon maintains good form with a 4-0 win at Le Havre before Marseille plays Montpellier

PARIS — Lyon made it five straight wins in all competitions with a dominant 4-0 victory at Le Havre to move up to seventh place in the French league on Sunday.

Brazilian left back Abner Vinicius put Lyon ahead in the 31st when he followed up a clearance by Le Havre's defense.

Winger Malick Fofana, veteran striker Alexandre Lacazette and winger Saïd Benrahma added second-half goals as Lyon made it 14 goals in its last five games.

Later Sunday, Marseille needed a win at Montpellier to stay three points behind Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco.

Sixth-place Reims lost 2-1 at Auxerre, with central defender Sinaly Diomandé and midfielder Hamed Traoré netting for the home side before Japan winger Keito Nakamura pulled a goal back in stoppage time.

Eighth-place Nice rallied to draw 1-1 at Nantes with forward Evann Guessand equalizing in the 72nd minute, five minutes after Matthis Abline put Nantes ahead. In the corresponding game last season, a Nantes fan was stabbed and killed before the match following a fight near the train station in the evening.

Toulouse drew 1-1 with Angers in a basement battle, with Norway forward Joshua King equalizing for the home side in the second half following striker Ibrahima Niane's early goal for Angers.

PSG tops the league on goal difference from Monaco, with both sides unbeaten and on 20 points from eight rounds.

PSG won 4-2 at home to Strasbourg on Saturday in a match marred by homophobic chanting made by some PSG fans about bitter rival Marseille and its midfielder Adrien Rabiot, a former longstanding PSG player.
