Ligue 1 round-up: Lyon finally get home win
Wednesday 23 September 2015 23:41, UK
Teenager Aldo Kalulu scored his first ever Ligue 1 goal as Lyon secured their first home win of the season with a 2-0 victory over 10-man Bastia.
The hosts had only managed a defeat to Rennes, sandwiched by draws against Lille and Lorient, at the Stade Gerland so a first maximum points haul came as welcome relief to boss Hubert Fournier.
Nice picked up their fourth win of the season in some style, seeing off Bordeaux 6-1, with Hatem Ben Arfa scoring a second-half brace while Enzo Crivelli was sent off after 50 minutes for the visitors.
A stoppage time Michy Batshuayi equaliser for Marseille ensured nine-man Toulouse remain without a win since the opening day as the game, which saw three red cards, finished 1-1.
Two Toulouse players saw red - Francois Moubandje for two yellow cards and Steeve Yago for a wild swipe at Georges-Kevin Nkoudou - and with the final whistle looming, Batshuayi pounced to silence the home crowd.
Second-placed St Etienne kept up the pressure on Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain with a slender 1-0 win at Troyes, their fifth successive league victory, while first-half goals from Benjamin Moukandjo and Majeed Waris gave Lorient a 2-0 win over Caen.
Ajaccio brought an end to a five-match losing streak but had to settle for a point in a 1-1 draw with Rennes, who hit back with a last-minute goal from Giovanni Sio in response to Mohamed Larbi's first-half strike.
