PARIS - Forward Memphis Depay scored one goal and set up another as Lyon won 3-2 at Monaco in an ill-tempered match where players almost came to blows at the final whistle on Sunday. The defeat dealt a big blow to third-place Monaco’s title hopes, leaving it four points behind second-place Paris Saint-Germain and only one point ahead of fourth-place Lyon with three games left in a tense title race led by Lille. After Lyon midfielder Maxence Caqueret was sent off in the 70th, Depay’s pinpoint free kick from the right was met by central defender Marcelo’s thumping header seven minutes later. An early red card for Rennes midfielder Steven Nzonzi tilted the balance and 18-year-old forward Sekou Mara punished Rennes with an 11th-minute goal. Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
