Olympique Lyonnais restored their two-point lead at the top of the Ligue 1 standings when Clinton Njie’s late goal salvaged a 1-1 draw at Lorient on Sunday.
Cameroon striker Njie netted his second goal in as many games 12 minutes from time to put OL on 51 points from 25 games two ahead of Olympique de Marseille and Paris St German who were also held to draws at the weekend.Lorient are 16th on 28 points, two points above the danger zone after Njie cancelled out Jordan Ayew’s 50th minute goal. Lyon were far from their best in a dull first half during which they failed to create a single chance. Lorient made them pay when Ghana forward Ayew headed home from Benjamin Jeannot’s cross from the right. That spurred Lyon into action but Benjamin Lecomte denied Nabil Fekir from close range with a superb save in the 55th.
Njie equalised in the 78th minute after second-half substitute Yoann Gourcuff set up Henri Bedimo on the left flank. The Cameroon defender’s cross was met by Njie, who beat Lecomte with a low shot that was deflected off a defender.

Go Clinton, Go Clinton..some people must be hiding their heads in shame now. La banane qui doir murir va toujours murir, meme si elle tombe dans leau. Landlords of national team, take note.
Actions speak louder than words. Go boy, go ahead and use your skills in front of the goal and silent all those haters.
