Lyon see Champions League chances fade

Lyon's chance of making the UEFA Champions League suffered a massive blow after they lost 3-0 at Toulouse on Wednesday. Lyon remain in fourth but could have closed to within three points of Lille with a victory - as a result of the defeat they remain six points adrift with just six games left. Toulouse themselves are now level with Lyon after their win at the Stadium Municipal. Pantxi Sirieix put the hosts ahead just nine minutes in when he beat Hugo Lloris from close range. Emmanuel Riviere then doubled their lead when he headed home from Sirieix's cross midway through the first half. Turkish ace Umut Bulut wrapped up the win for the Pink City outfit in stoppage time. Coupe de Ligue winners Marseille remain in tenth after a 1-1 draw with Caen at the Stade Velodrome. The visitors went ahead after 11 minutes when Frederic Bulot scored, but Loic Remy's penalty midway through the half sealed a point for Didier Deschamps' side.
