Lyon Beat Clermont, Lacazette and Tolisso Score, Team Rises in Rankings

On Sunday, Lyon secured a crucial win over Clermont Auvergne, securing three points and rising to second place in the French Ligue 1 standings. The match was dominated by the attacking prowess of Lyon's star striker, Kylian Mbappe, who scored twice in the first half.

In addition to Mbappe's goals, Lyon also benefitted from the efforts of their midfielders, including Jérémy Trossard and Nabil Fekir. Trossard, who has been on loan from Real Madrid, made a strong showing with two assists and one goal, while Fekir continued his impressive form for Lyon.

The victory was particularly significant for Lyon, as they were trailing Clermont in the league table at the time of the game. With this win, Lyon have now won four out of their last five matches, putting them in prime position for a top-four finish in the league.

In other league action, Marseille defeated Nice, while Bordeaux beat Montpellier. These results further solidified Lyon's position at the top of the table, with their lead over second-place Clermont increasing to six points.

The victory against Clermont will boost Lyon's confidence heading into their next match, which is away against Lens on Wednesday. However, they must remain focused and disciplined if they want to maintain their top spot in the league.
