On Sunday, the 34th round of the "Ligue 1" championship ended and three matches were played. The first two clubs to enter the battle, "Saint Etienne" and "Montpellier", did not delight the fans with a goal abundance, but fought with all their might on the field. In a evenly matched game, the hosts "Saint Etienne" secured victory with a single goal from Max-Alain Gradel. This allowed the winners to rise to the fourth position, as the day before, the "Marseille" team lost to "Lorient". Reducing the gap from the leaders and solidifying their position on the third step of the ladder were the players of "Monaco", who confidently defeated the bottom team "Lens" 3-0 as away. Goals were scored by Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco, Anthony Martial, and Bernardo Silva. Finally, with a convincing victory, "Lyon" also celebrated returning to the top of the table, defeating the "Reims" club 4-2 as visitors. Four goals were scored in the first twenty minutes. Initially, the Lyon team took the lead 2-0, but then exchanged goals with Alexi Peuge and Clinton Njie. After the break, two more goals were scored at the end of the match. Mickael Tacalfred scored an own goal, changing the result to 4-1, but shortly after, his teammate Gaetan Charbonnier sent the ball into the opponent's net. After securing a victory, the "Lyon" players now have the same number of points as the "Paris Saint-Germain", who have played one game less, and surpass the Parisians in goal difference.
