Lyon's strong recent run in Ligue 1 continued with a comfortable away win over struggling Montpellier.
Maxwel Cornet's first-half double was enough to earn Lyon a 2-0 win at Montpellier on Friday and send Bruno Genesio's men up to second in Ligue 1.
The visitor has now taken 16 points from its last six league outings and climbed above Monaco - which visits Lille on Sunday - into the second automatic Champions League qualification spot by virtue of goal difference.
Montpellier made a bright start at Stade de la Mosson but found itself behind in the 34th minute when Lyon won possession deep in it's opponent's half and Jordan Ferri fed Cornet, who prodded into the bottom-left hand corner.
