Lyon sit provisionally third in Ligue One ahead of Lille despite being level on points and goal difference, because head-to-head results take priority in France.
L'Équipe points out that in the Premier League goals scored come after goal difference, so Lille would be third there, having 49 goals to Lyon’s 45.

After overcoming PSG on Sunday night, Lyon hold the advantage over their northern rivals for now.
