Lyon came from behind to thrash 10-man Troyes at Stade Gerland and go top of the Ligue 1 table this evening.
The visitors opened the scoring on 47 minutes, when Jean-Christophe Bahebeck turned in Fabrice N'Sakala's cross from close range.
Lyon had a golden chance to level two minutes later when Granddi Ngoyi brought down Lisandro in the penalty area.
Yohann Thuram-Ulien saved Lisandro's spot kick but the equaliser came from the resultant corner, Bafetimbi Gomis heading home.
Michel Bastos lashed Lyon ahead on 65 minutes before Julien Faussurier was shown a straight red card for a bad tackle on Cris moments later.
Lisandro and Gomis extended the lead in the dying seconds with well-taken finishes.
