Lyon win fourth French women's crown in a row
Lyon sealed their fourth consecutive women's French league title on Friday with a comfortable 3-0 win in the playoff final against Paris Saint-Germain.
Goals from Melchie Dumornay, Kadidiatou Diani and Wendie Renard wrapped up the 18th title in the history of the club's women's team.
Lyon were head and shoulders above the rest of the division, achieving an unbeaten regular season with 20 wins and two draws.
Because of that superb record their players had expressed anger at having the title decided through the playoff system, but they made short work of PSG.
Coached by Joe Montemurro, who is set to leave to take over the reins of the Australian national women's team, Lyon took the lead in first-half stoppage time when Haiti international Dumornay opened the scoring.
Her low shot past PSG's England goalkeeper Mary Earps followed an assist from American Lindsay Heaps.
Diani then made it 2-0 after 80 minutes and veteran defender Renard completed the job with an injury-time penalty that was awarded after a VAR check for a handball by Oceane Hurtre.
Another domestic title was a boost after Lyon were eliminated in the semi-finals of the Champions League by Arsenal.
Lyon now face a rebuilding phase as several experienced players, including 35-year-old Eugenie Le Sommer, are leaving in the summer.
