A fine lob from Bafetimbi Gomis earned Olympique Lyon a 1-0 home win against Stade Brest on Sunday and moved them up to third in Ligue 1.
Gomis scored a deserved goal for Lyon in the 57th minute when he lobbed goalkeeper Alexis Thebault from a neat Steed Malbranque pass.
Lyon have 18 points from nine games, one behind leaders Paris St Germain and Olympique Marseille, who could reclaim top spot if they do not lose at basement side Troyes later (1900). Brest are 14th with 10 points.
The hosts dominated throughout the match but struggled to hit the target – a Jimmy Briand header struck the crossbar on 33 minutes – until Gomis earned them a deserved victory.
