In-form Lyon make it 10 wins in a row
Lyon continued their excellent run of form with a 1-0 win over Lille in Ligue 1 on Sunday making it 10 straight victories in all competitions to further boost their chances of a return to the Champions League.
Danish midfielder Noah Nartey scored the only goal of the game late in the opening half, a first for the 20-year-old since his arrival from Brondby last month.
The seven-time French champions have now won 10 successive games since a 1-0 loss at Lorient in early December, including five on the bounce in Ligue 1.
That form has allowed Paulo Fonseca's side -- also boosted by the arrival of Brazil striker Endrick on loan from Real Madrid -- to cement their grip on fourth place in the table, which brings with it a spot in next season's Champions League qualifying rounds.
With 39 points, Lyon trail Marseille in third only on goal difference and are seven points clear of fifth-placed Lille, for whom this was in contrast a sixth loss in seven matches in 2026.
Marseille followed their exit from the Champions League during the week by squandering a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at Paris FC on Saturday.
Lens are top of the standings on 46 points after beating Le Havre 1-0 on Friday, but reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain are just one point back in second before visiting Strasbourg later on Sunday.
