Lyon rests Depay and routs Lorient 4-1 to move into 3rd spot
Lyon rested top scorer Memphis Depay and still scored freely, beating Lorient 4-1 to move above Monaco and into third place in the French league on Saturday. Lyon was two points ahead of Monaco, which lost to Lyon last weekend and needs a victory at Reims on Sunday to reclaim the Champions League spot. With Depay watching from the stands, Bruno Guimaraes retook a penalty and scored with the same long, staggered run up.
