Turkey international Yusuf Yazici scored twice as Lille ended a Ligue 1 run without a win with three games with a 4-0 win over Lorient, which reduced Paris Saint-Germain’s lead at the top to two points.

Yazici came home after a pass from Jonathan Bamba to Lille in 28. Minute before hitting a cross from Jonathan David early in the second half to double the lead.

The midfielder then became Luiz Araujo’s supplier to add a third for Lille every hour on the hour. Jonathan David scored his long-awaited first goal for the club in the closing stages.

It’s been a slow start in life for David. David was one of the biggest newcomers to a Ligue 1 club in the summer when Lille paid € 27m to recruit the 20-year-old-old Canada striker from Ghent, Belgium.

Christophe Galtier’s side reclaimed second place from Lyon, who beat Angers 1-0 the day before thanks to a late winner from Zimbabwean striker Tino Kadewere.

Montpellier defeated Strasbourg 4-3 in a dramatic match and met Lyon and Monaco with 20 points, four points behind PSG.

Defending champion PSG scored a two-goal lead in Monaco on Friday and lost 3-2. He gave the pursuer a chance to fill the gap.

Lyon, semi-finalist in last season’s Champions League, took advantage but needed a winner in the 80. Minute from Kadewere.

« We came to win and finish second and we did it, » said Lyon’s coach Rudi Garcia. « It wasn’t our best game, but we had games where we had a lot of chances but didn’t win. That makes up for that. « . «

The 24-year-old Kadewere, who came from second division Le Havre at the end of the season, has scored four Ligue 1 goals this season.

Montpellier, the 2012 champions, led 2-0 with early goals from Pedro Mendes and Andy Delort, but Strasbourg hit back with a penalty from Kenny Lala and Habib Diallo.

Former Wigan Athletic striker Delort restored the hosts’ lead and although Ludovic Ajorque equalized at half time, Gaetan Laborde had the last word in the middle of the second half.
