French League News :: Lyon win another Ligue 1 title on final day in France.

Posted on 2008-05-17 by Gooner

Olympique Lyonnais sealed their seventh successive Ligue 1 crown after winning 3-1 at AJ Auxerre to hold off the challenge of second-placed FC Girondins de Bordeaux.

Lyon went into the game with a two-point cushion over Bordeaux, and goals in the first ten minutes from Karim Benzema and Fred settled any nerves Lyon might have had before the season's final round of fixtures kicked off.

Kim Kallstrom added a third six minutes after half-time and not even a late Frederic Thomas goal could take the gloss off the win and title triumph.

Lyon now have the chance to complete the first double in their history against Paris Saint-Germain FC next weekend.
