Ligue 1: Alexandre Lacazette salvages draw for Lyon against Nice
Ten-man Olympique Lyonnais maintained their hopes of a second-place finish in Ligue 1 after salvaging a 1-1 home draw against Nice on Friday.
Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette scored from close range seven minutes from full time after Mathieu Valbuena's free-kick hit the bar.
Valere Germain headed home in the 18th minute to give the visitors a deserved lead at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais.
The hosts had Maxwel Cornet sent off with a straight red card for a challenge on the Nice goalkeeper after 25 minutes, before Lacazette netted his 17th goal of the season.
Lyon remain second in Ligue 1 on 56 points with four games remaining. Third-placed Monaco, who have one point fewer, take on troubled Olympique de Marseille on Sunday.
Nice are fourth on 54 points, 29 points off leaders Paris St Germain, who take on Caen on Saturday.
