(Reuters) - Olympique Lyonnais took a big step towards a top-three finish in Ligue 1 and a berth in next season's Champions League qualifying rounds after a fine performance gave them a 3-0 win at Olympique Marseille who finished with 10 men on Sunday.

Maxwel Cornet scored twice and Moussa Dembele added another to leave Lyon in third spot on 66 points with two games remaining, four ahead of fourth-placed St Etienne who suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Montpellier on Friday.
