Heavy Defeat For Lyon

                     Florian Thauvin: Bagged a brace in Bastia win

Bastia's midfielder Florian Thauvin bagged a brace as Lyon's Ligue 1 title hopes took a hammer blow with a 4-1 defeat at the Stade Armand Cesari.Thauvin, who is remaining with Bastia for the rest of the season having signed for Lille in January, put the hosts in front just before half-time although Lisandro Lopez levelled in the 53rd minute.

That was as good as it got for the visitors, who fell behind almost immediately afterwards through Anthony Modeste's strike while Thauvin's second on the hour left them with a mountain to climb.
Wahbi Khazri ensured there was no way back as Lyon, who could trail Paris St Germain by seven points if the league leaders beat St Etienne on Sunday, suffered their heaviest defeat of the season.
Marseille's Ligue 1 title hopes continued to recede on Friday evening as they were held to an uninspiring goalless draw at home to mid-table Ajaccio.

The stalemate marks the third time in four Ligue 1 games that OM have failed to find the target and leaves them nursing a run of just two wins in eight stretching back to January 26.The points sees Marseille close to within six of leaders Paris St Germain, but that gap could grow when the capital club travel to St Etienne to play their game in hand on Sunday.Marseille will also be looking anxiously over their shoulders after their latest below-par display, with St Etienne and Nice three points back as the race for the final Champions League berth hots up.
