PARIS (Reuters) - Unfashionable Lorient, Metz and Stade de Reims all won in Ligue 1 on Sunday while Olympique Lyonnais claimed their first point of the new French league campaign with a 0-0 draw at Nice.

Lyon, with former France manager Laurent Blanc in charge, had lost their opening two games but fought out a bruising and tempestuous stalemate to get off the mark.
