Lyon climb to fifth as Yaremchuk and Tolisso strike after restart | OneFootball

Lyon beat Lorient 2-0 at Groupama Stadium on Sunday to climb from seventh to fifth in Ligue 1.

Roman Yaremchuk opened the scoring in the 49th minute, glancing in Endrick's cross from the right.

Dominik Greif kept a clean sheet with seven saves, including a late tip-over from Panos Katseris (90.), as the hosts managed the closing stages with control.

Half-time changes proved decisive for Les Gones, with Endrick, Corentin Tolisso and Orel Mangala introduced before the restart. Tolisso then headed a second from close range (56.).

A VAR review produced no penalty for Lorient (67.).

Lyon registered five shots on target from 11 attempts. Greif's handling under pressure underpinned a third straight league clean sheet at home.

Lorient stay ninth. Next, Les Gones visit Paris Saint-Germain, while Lorient host Marseille.
