Roaring Lyon continue upward surge in Ligue 1

Lyon continued their revival in form by claiming a fourth consecutive win in all competitions with a 2-0 defeat of Nantes in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

Argentinian World Cup winner Nicolas Tagliafico put Lyon ahead midway through the first half at the Groupama Stadium when he converted from a Said Benrahma assist.

Lyon then doubled their lead early in the second half as Nantes defender Nicolas Pallois turned a low Corentin Tolisso centre into his own net.

The victory comes on the back of a 4-1 win away to Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday and is their second on the bounce in Ligue 1.
