Lyon Dominates Reims 4-0 to Climb into Ligue 1 Top Six
In Ligue 1's 21st round, Lyon hosted one of the league's strugglers, Reims, at home.
The match was opened in the 36th minute when Taliafico easily converted a cross from Tolisso into a goal.
In the middle of the second half, it was Tolisso himself who doubled the lead, heading home a perfect cross from Houssem Aouar.
Reims crumbled after that, conceding two more goals before the final whistle. Houssem Aouar scored his own goal, finishing with a precise shot into the top corner, and then turned provider again, setting up Mikautadze for the fourth goal.
The 4-0 victory pushed Lyon up to sixth place in the Ligue 1 standings, as they continue their push for European football next season.
