Lyon strengthened their grip on a Champions League position in Ligue 1 after defender Jason Denayer's goal handed them a 1-0 win at Amiens on Sunday.

The Belgian headed home from a Memphis Depay cross early in the second half at the Stade de la Licorne as Lyon won in Amiens for the second time in 72 hours.

They had also triumphed 2-0 there in the French Cup on Thursday, and this result completes an excellent eight days on the road for Bruno Genesio's side, who won 2-1 away to derby rivals Saint-Etienne last weekend.

With their Champions League last-16 first leg against Barcelona looming on the horizon, Lyon remain third in the Ligue 1 table, three points behind second-placed Lille.
