Soccer-Lyon go top with 2-0 win against Bastia

PARIS, April 15 (Reuters) - Second-half goals by Mohamed Yattara and Alexandre Lacazette helped Olympique Lyonnais go top of Ligue 1 with a 2-0 home win against Bastia on Wednesday.

Substitute Yattara opened the scoring in the 77th minute and Ligue 1 top scorer Lacazette took his tally to 25 eight minutes later to move Lyon up to 64 points from 32 games.

French champions Paris St Germain, who have one game in hand, are second two points off the pace.

Lyon dominated throughout but were made to wait by Bastia, who were reeling from their 4-0 defeat in the League Cup final against PSG last Saturday.
