PSG goes top of Ligue 1 with win over Lyon while Sevilla returns to winning ways
By The Associated Press
Paris Saint-Germain returned to the top of Ligue 1 after beating Lyon 2-0 on
Monday, while Sevilla snapped a four-game winless run by defeating Osasuna by
the same score in La Liga.
PSG strikes late
Senny Mayulu rifled home an 18-meter strike seven minutes after coming off the
bench to break Lyon's resistance and set PSG on its way to an eighth straight
win in all competitions.
Both teams started the match on 14 points but PSG had confidence, momentum and
home turf that Lyon managed to resist until Mayulu's goal.
Twelve minutes later, Mika Godts settled the game with a well-taken effort to
finish off a fast break.
PSG moved one point clear of Rennes. Lyon remained in fifth place.
Romero's third goal in three games
Isaac Romero scored against Aston Villa in the Champions League and against
Levante before being sent off. For the visit of Osasuna he made his presence
felt after 24 minutes.
Romero took Youssouf Fofana's clever layoff and lashed it home from the edge of
the box to put Sevilla ahead.
Felix Correia, who also scored in the 3-3 draw with Levante two weeks ago, got
the second for Sevilla eight minutes from time.
It was a welcome return to form for a side that lost three of its last four
games against Real Madrid, Barcelona and Aston Villa.
The result left Sevilla in sixth place. Osasuna remained in 12th, six points
back.
