Lyon see off Nantes to seize advantage in race for second
Lyon seized the initiative in the race for second place in Ligue 1 with a 2-0 win over Nantes.
With Paris St Germain already confirmed as champions, Lyon are locked in a battle for the runners-up spot with Monaco and Marseille.
And goals in either half from Memphis Depay and Bertrand Traore sent Bruno Genesio's men into second ahead of Monaco's game with Amiens later on Saturday evening.
Depay opened the scoring in fine style as he lashed home from 20 yards six minutes before the break and the former Manchester United man made the second midway through the second half when his surging run allowed Traore to sweep home.

Roma thrash Chievo ahead of Liverpool clash
Roma warmed up for their Champions League second leg with Liverpool by hammering Chievo 4-1 in Serie A.
The Giallorossi will hope to repeat their heroics against Barcelona in the last round by overturning a 5-2 semi-final first-leg deficit against Jurgen Klopp's men on Wednesday and found some form on home soil.

They were woeful at Anfield, but fared much better in their domestic league, winning thanks to goals from Patrik Schick, Eden Dzeko (2) and Stephan El Shaarawy.
Schick opened the scoring in the ninth minute when he swept home Dzeko's cross from the left and then the former Manchester City striker got on the scoresheet five minutes before the break by poking home Aleksandar Kolarov's centre.
Roma were reduced to 10 men when Juan Jesus was dismissed for a professional foul, but Roberto Inglese missed the resulting penalty.
El Shaarawy made the game safe with a finish into the bottom corner before Dzeko's second concluded the rout, with Inglese atoning for his earlier miss with a consolation in injury time.

Espanyol close in on safety with point against relegated Las Palmas
Espanyol moved to within one point of safety despite being held to a 1-1 draw at home by already relegated Las Palmas at the RCDE Stadium.
Espanyol would have targeted this game for three points but had to settle for one against visitors whose fate was sealed after losing 4-0 to Alaves last weekend.

Deportivo can still catch Espanyol, but they need to win all four of their remaining fixtures and while the Periquitos lose their last three games.
Oscar Melendo wasted a great chance to give Espnayol a fifth-minute lead but his shot failed to trouble Las Palmas keeper Leandro Chichizola.
The deadlock was broken by Jonathan Calleri's penalty in the 29th minute. Espanyol defender David Lopez was adjudged to have handled the ball for Calleri to stroke the spot-kick past Pau Lopez.
Lopez had to be at his best when he denied Imoh Ezekiel three minutes into the second half.
At the other end, Sergio Garcia was off target his a header that drifted past the post.
Espanyol were denied an equaliser in the 57th minute when Gerard Moreno's header from close range hit the crossbar.
Garcia squandered another chance to get the home side back in the game when his 73rd-minute shot lacked the power to trouble Chichizola.
Chichizola was finally beaten moments later when Garcia headed the ball back across goal for Moreno to level the scores 14 minutes from time.
Neither side could find a winner and had to settle for a point, which takes Espanyol a step closer to staying in LaLiga next season.
