LILLE:

Lyon continued their fine start to the season with a hard-fought 1-0 win at Lille on Sunday, sending them level on 15 points with champions Paris Saint-Germain at the top of Ligue 1.

Summer signing from Liverpool Tyler Morton struck early to give Paulo Fonseca's side their fifth win from six outings to start the campaign.

Lyon captain Corentin Tolisso praised his side's "exceptional" early going in the season, but added: "It was very difficult (on Sunday), we struggled for almost the entire game."

Lyon sit second on goal-difference behind PSG, who won 2-0 at home to Auxerre on Saturday.

A second consecutive defeat leaves Lille sixth on 10 points.

The decisive moment at Stade Pierre-Mauroy came in the 13th minute when Morton nodded home from Nicolas Tagliafico's pinpoint cross.
