Lyon go top of Ligue 1 as Monaco fall to first defeat of the season

Lyon secured their top position in Ligue 1 on Sunday, defeating Nice 2-1 with a come-from-behind performance. The victory came despite Nice's Elye Wahi scoring twice, including an injury-time equalizer denied by a controversial offside decision. Lyon took an early lead through Pavel Sulc, who equalized by prodding home a rebound.

Axel Witsel nearly extended the advantage but headed against the bar, while Wahi hit the post with a close-range header. Noah Cadiou scored a late penalty for Lorient, preventing Monaco from reclaiming the top spot with a 1-0 loss in Brittany. Monaco's Dembo Sylla earned a penalty, which was successfully converted by wing-back Dembo Sylla, marking Monaco's first league defeat of the season.

Paris FC joined Lyon, PSG, Paris FC, Lille, and Monaco at the top of the table with 14 points, but Lyon leads on goal difference. Rennes dropped to fifth after falling to a 4-3 loss to Paris FC, despite Esteban Lepaul's hat-trick of penalties. Marseille secured a crucial win, beating Angers 5-2, and pulled away from the relegation zone.
