Good evening and welcome to our coverage of the Rhône-Alpes derby between Olympique Lyonnais and Saint-Étienne in Ligue 1. Lyon are currently in 3rd - five points beyond PSG and Lille. Meanwhile, Saint-Étienne are hovering above the relegation zone in 16th. They last played each other in early November, when Lyon ran out 2-1 winners at home thanks to a brace from Tino Kadewere.

End of 2nd Half
90'
FULL-TIME: Saint-Etienne 0-5 Lyon
A slightly predictable yet still embarrassing defeat for Claude Puel's Saint-Etienne, who fall to their joint largest Rhône derby defeat ever. He was hamstrung in terms of team selection due to injuries and Covid-19, but the players he did field could have at least shown a bit more fight against a Lyon side who barely needed to move into second gear.
Lyon move to within two points of PSG and Lille at the top of the table, while Saint-Etienne continue to linger above the relegation zone.

SAVED!! Incredible stop from Moulin! Toko-Ekambi hints he's going to pass it to Depay but instead goes it alone and tries to catch the Saint-Etienne 'keeper off guard but Moulin reacts well to make a brilliant save.
82'
GOOOOAAAALLL!!! And it's five! Lyon win a free-kick just outside the area to the left and Depay convinces Kadewere to let him take it before curling his effort into the top-right corner. Could be an own goal as replays show it came off the back of Bouanga's head.

Hamouma's shown a yellow card for handball. It's a bit harsh though, and very reflective of the grey area surrounding the handball rule currently. He has every right to be annoyed.

GOOOAAALLLL!!! Lyon turn the heat up even more as a great piece of skill leaves Depay with an open player either side of him. He opts for Kadewere to his right, who cuts inside onto his left to score his second of the night! 4-0.

Swift counter-attack by Lyon and Toko-Ekambi's put through on goal. He tries an audacious chip but Moulin reads it well and catches it with ease.

GOOOOAAAALLLL!!! Oh my word, lightning has struck twice! That's a carbon copy of the second goal! Dubois' free-kick from a near-identical position floats into Marcelo again, who leaves the Saint-Etienne defence with a sense of deja vu as he heads home to make it 3-0.

OFF THE POST!! Nordin already making an impact after being subbed on at half-time! Played through on the counter attack, he decides to take-on Denayer himself before striking the ball on the move. His shot whacks the intersection between the post and bar before flying out for a goal-kick. Lopes was beaten!

Kolodziejczak picks up a yellow for a foul on Toko-Ekambi.

Dubois finds a good area in the box with the set-piece, but his teammates are unable to control it before it's cleared.
50'
Dubois is hacked down just outside the penalty area and wins a free-kick in the process. if he puts in a delivery close to his cross for Marcelo's goal then Saint-Etienne could be in trouble again...
