PARIS (Reuters) - Olympique Lyonnais topped the Ligue 1 standings after goals from Clinton Njie and Christophe Jallet earned them a 2-2 draw against bitter rivals St Etienne even though they were reduced to 10 men for most of the encounter on Sunday.

Njie opened the scoring midway through the first half before Lindsay Rose was sent off in the 28th minute, allowing St Etienne to take the lead with a Max-Alain Gradel penalty and Romain Hamouma strike just before the break.
