Volkswacht Bodensee - Lyon win at Lille to stay level at top of Ligue 1 with PSG

Summer signing from Liverpool Tyler Morton struck early to give Paulo Fonseca's side their fifth win from six outings to start the campaign.

They stay second on goal-difference with PSG, who won 2-0 at home to Auxerre on Saturday.

A second consecutive defeat of the season leaves Lille sixth on 10 points.

The decisive moment at Stade Pierre-Mauroy came in the 13th minute when Morton nodded home from Nicolas Tagliafico's pinpoint cross.

The hosts fought to force their way back into the match but were unable to beat an in-form Dominik Greif in the Lyon goal.

Lille boss Bruno Genesio took his frustrations out on a water bottle, sending it close to the fourth official, and was dismissed from the touchline inside the final 20 minutes.

The Slovakian shotstopper then made an excellent save from Osame Sahraoui's powerful effort in the 90th minute to ensure Lyon claimed all three points in the north of France.

Elsewhere Brest climbed to ninth with a 2-0 win against 17th-placed Angers, while bottom-side Metz played out a goalless draw at home to Le Havre.

Nice drew 1-1 against Paris FC, with Jean-Philippe Krasso's 88th-minute penalty earning a point for the Parisians after Sofiane Diop's first-half opener for the hosts.

Later, Rennes welcome Lens in the final match of the day.
