Ligue 1 Review: Lyon, Monaco continue fight for second

Lyon and Monaco continued their chase of second place in Ligue 1 as respective hard-fought wins over Gazelec Ajaccio and Guingamp kept them level on points.

First-half goals from Rachid Ghezzal and Maxwel Cornet saw Lyon to a 2-1 victory, while Monaco battled to a 3-2 win.

At Lyon's Parc Olympique Lyonnais, the hosts took a 10th-minute lead as a Ghezzal corner appeared to go in untouched.

Struggling Reims suffered a 3-2 loss to Montpellier, Caen and Bastia played out a 0-0 draw and Diego Rolan's brace inspired Bordeaux in a 4-2 win at rock-bottom Troyes.
