Lyon 2-0 Bastia: Grenier return inspires new league leaders

Clement Grenier made his return to first-team action Wednesday as Lyon went back to Ligue 1's summit with victory over Bastia.

Mohamed Yattara and Alexandre Lacazette were on target in Lyon's 2-0 win over Bastia on Wednesday as Hubert Fournier's side returned to the top of Ligue 1.

Lyon, capitalizing on previous leaders Paris Saint-Germain being in UEFA Champions League action, eventually broke down a stubborn Bastia defense in a victory that saw Clement Grenier make his long-awaited return from injury.

The hosts were frustrated for much of the first half at the Stade Gerland, Ghislain Printant's men defending like a side embroiled in a relegation battle.
