Yilmaz-inspired Lille fight back against Lyon to retake top spot Paris (AFP) – Burak Yilmaz scored twice and set up another as Lille staged a brilliant comeback to claim a thrilling 3-2 victory at title rivals Lyon on Sunday and reclaim top spot in Ligue 1 from reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain.
The away side trailed by two goals shortly before half-time, but Yilmaz inspired an unlikely fightback to send Lille one point clear of PSG with four matches remaining.
Monaco are just a point further back in third after Wissam Ben Yedder’s late goal grabbed a 1-0 win at Angers, but fourth-placed Lyon’s title challenge appears all but over, sitting six points off the pace.
