Midfielder Alexi Peuget gave the home side hope when he pulled a goal back in the 13th, but Lyon reasserted its authority as Cameroonian winger Clinton N'jie made it 3-1 after 20 minutes of a frantic opening spell. Monaco was knocked out of the Champions League by Juventus in midweek — losing 1-0 on aggregate in a hard-fought quarterfinal — but has good momentum heading into the French league's home stretch. Lens is 12 points away from safety with the league's worst goal difference, and only has a remote chance of staying up if it wins all of four remaining games with resounding wins.
