00:00Montpellier are running out of time to save their Ligue 1 lives they host

00:09Lyon today. Lyon have a newish coach Balot-Fonseca. This is his second away

00:14game after losing against Marseille in his first. It's bottom against sixth

00:20place in Ligue 1.

00:23Lovely sunny conditions at Le Manson. Montpellier the team of French

00:27champions in 2012. Very different story these days and they don't have a great

00:32record against Lyon. They've won seven and lost 17 since 2010. Four draws in there and

00:42Lyon have won six of the last seven home and away. So they like playing against

00:46Montpellier, Lyon. Last time they played here was a 2-1 win for Lyon with

00:55Lacazette and Kakare. Late goal scorers for the team of Olympique Lyonnais.

01:03Very ambitious they want to get in the top three or four in a horrible season.

01:10Lyon winning the ball high up with Ryan Cherki. Still just 21. He's pretty

01:17experienced you know Cherki and that's a lovely ball through and is this the

01:20first chance? It is and it's already a goal for Mika Tadze. It's a perfect start

01:26for Lyon. The new coach Balot-Fonseca has exactly the response that he wanted

01:34from his players. It was a crafty ball through from Cherki. Mika Tadze no

01:40problem at all and those Lyon fans loving that. It's 1-0 for Lyon.

01:47That was all about Ryan Cherki. Look at this. Beat one, just skip past his man like he

01:52wasn't there. Lovely ball through. Mika Tadze the turn. Brilliant shot and it's

01:58already 1-0 for Lyon and the problems for Montpellier continue.

02:08Georges Mika Tadze a super finish. He's been charged with getting into the top

02:13three.

02:18Savaniye and suddenly it's in. Koulibaly from nowhere. Montpellier have the equaliser.

02:25A first goal since November and Koulibaly was not going to miss there.

02:32Disappointment for Lyon who really thought that they'd dealt with that

02:37attack and no emotion from Jean-Louis Gasset but those fans know just how

02:42important that goal might be. First goal since November. Wasn't too much danger

02:48there but somehow it was threaded through and again it was good work from

02:53Teji Savaniye somehow finding Koulibaly and we're back to 1-1.

03:01The craft of Teji Savaniye somehow finding his teammate and Montpellier have hope.

03:12It's halftime at Le Manson. We've had an entertaining 45 minutes.

03:20What a game. Mika Tadze goal at minute three and then Koulibaly with the equaliser

03:26at minute 38. It is 1-0 after 45 minutes of play. We're going to take a short break

03:33when we come back with the highlights from the first half of football.

03:46Montpellier have fought back after conceding early and they're maybe

03:51looking for three precious points against Lyon. 1-1 at halftime.

03:59Lyon will be going towards their own supporters on the

04:04right-hand side in this part of the world in the southwest of France.

04:11A long long ball through to Nuama was a good one. Suddenly Nuama has a chance

04:15and Nuama makes Montpellier pay. The player who just before this game was vowing to score

04:23more goals for his team has delivered. It's a super finish from Ernest Nuama

04:31coming inside. It's only his second of the season but my word that's an important one.

04:37A long long ball through. He had a lot of work to do Nuama but didn't he do it well

04:43and no chance at all for Benjamin Lecomte. It's 2-1 for Lyon.

04:50A great finish.

04:57Just too good for Maite and Nuama into the corner.

05:04Lyon have the lead back.

05:05He's playing down the right there.

05:132-1. Clever switch from Fonseca. He's still playing down the right-hand side.

05:19He's put in the cross. There's the goal. Oh it's an own goal. It's a disaster for Montpellier.

05:24Or did Tolisso get to it? Tolisso is celebrating. The Lyon fans won't care who's put it in

05:31but Montpellier have been stunned by two goals in less than two minutes and poor old Benjamin

05:38Lecomte doesn't quite know what's hitting. It is Tolisso with the touch. It's another goal for Tolisso

05:46who has now scored four in his last three and now Lyon look like they're heading for the three points.

05:53Nuama was involved again. He's just scored one goal and that was a really nice cross inside and

06:00yeah it was Tolisso made it look very simple.

06:04The World Cup winner guiding it in and Lyon are in total control now.

06:17Another goal for Tolisso. You can just about see the finish line. They have two goal leads.

06:2420 minutes to go. Lacazette with a give and go. Gives it to Almada. Lacazette wants it back.

06:30Lacazette! Oh he's only been on a couple of minutes and the general makes it 4-1 in front

06:38of the celebrating Lyon fans. It didn't take Lacazette long and surely now the three points

06:46are going to Lyon.

06:49Alexandre Lacazette who's got a fantastic record against Montpellier over the years

06:56continues that. Gets the armband with it. Why not? It's his 15th career goal against Montpellier.

07:03Lacazette now makes it 4-1. He's the captain and Lyon surely have the points.

07:10Nicely knocked in by another substitute Abner and that was a smart finish from Alexandre Lacazette.

07:19The veteran

07:23and poor Benjamin Lacompte has conceded four and it's hard to see a way back now for Montpellier.

07:39The afternoon is over. It's been a convincing display from Paolo Fonseca.

07:47How I give it to Paolo Fonseca, I still don't understand the change of

07:50manager but Olympique Lyonnais is playing well. Three goals in the second half to get the 4-1

07:57finish with Lacazette called the captain at minute 73 with Tolisso, Moammar and Mikotatze,

08:04Montpellier hold the Coulibaly goal at minute 38. This is a good win for Lyon. They sit at fifth.
