Lyon seal seventh consecutive Ligue 1 title
-
AJ Auxerre 1-3 Olympique Lyonnais
A first-minute strike from Karim Benzema set Lyon on their way to their seventh consecutive Ligue 1 title in France.
A confident, brash display in Burgundy saw Lyon through to all three points and a seventh consecutive Ligue Une title.
They say that the early goal is crucial for settling nerves, and that certainly seemed to be the case as OL took the lead one minute in and then went on to dominate. News that Bordeaux were failing to open the score against Lens must have emboldened the champions further, leading to some second half success, too. Relaxation in the final quarter-hour saw them lose their clean sheet, though, although all three points were still forthcoming.
