Lyon and Marseille both fail to find the net in their Ligue 1 clash at Stade de Gerland.

Lyon and Marseille have played out a goalless draw in their Ligue 1 clash at Stade de Gerland.

The stalemate has seen Paris Saint-Germain open up a four-point lead over Lyon at the top of the table.

The visitors were dominant in the first half, but Andre Pierre Gignac, Lucas Mendes and Bafetimbi Gomis were all off target.

Lyon started the second half strongly as Gueida Fofana flashed a shot wide in the opening stages before another effort went past the post on the hour.

Samuel Umtiti had his powerful drive saved by Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda with 20 minutes left on the clock, but the two teams struggled to create chances late on as they both dropped points in the title race.
