Lyon took over top spot in Ligue 1 on Sunday with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Toulouse.

Alexandre Lacazette's first-half brace set the hosts on their way and Nabil Fekir sealed matters with a third goal at the start of the second half.

The result lifted Les Gones a point ahead of Marseille, who went down 2-1 at Montpellier on Friday night, and left TFC just one point above the drop zone.

Elsewhere, lowly Metz stopped Nantes' two-match winning run in a 0-0 draw at the Stade de la Beaujoire.

Metz had lost six of their previous seven league games, but they showed resilience to keep only their second clean sheet since mid-October and move out of the relegation zone at Evian's expense.

In the evening kick-off, fifth-placed Monaco and sixth-spotted Bordeaux battled out a goalless draw at the Stade Louis II.
