Lyon beat Strasbourg

Norway striker John Carew presented Olympique Lyon with a 1-0 win over Racing Strasbourg in their first home match of the season on Sunday. Lyon, who had started their campaign for a fifth successive title with a 2-1 win at Le Mans, did just enough to pick three points in a tight match.

Newcomer Carew scored from a tight angle on 26 minutes to make Lyon one of four teams on maximum points from two games with Nantes, Paris St Germain and Bordeaux.

Nantes, who scored an impressive 3-0 away win over Stade Rennes in a western derby earlier on Sunday, top the table on goal difference, followed by PSG, Bordeaux and Lyon.

Nantes, who had started with a 2-0 home win over Racing Lens last weekend, opened the scoring on 14 minutes courtesy of Ivory Coast midfielder Emerse Fae.

Substitute forward Habib Bamogo completed the demolition after a great solo run four minutes from time.
