An unmarked Dembele, who is not a leader, but one who makes a mistake.

Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes had previously been pulled out of the game, twice before entering the game. Hamouma's follow-up.

Saint-Etienne again had a chance to win the game in a frantic goalmouth scramble but Remy Cabella was thwarted by Lopes and Leo Dubois produced a vital block to repel Lois Dion's subsequent effort.

"I do not know it's never good when it's the knee," said Garcia.

"It felt like a sudden … I think it was a Caen player who fell on top of him, or something like that, when he was on the ground."

Marseille moved up to six points of the Champions League after six inning out of six leagues in Caen outfit with just three wins all season.

Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani both scored on Saturday as Paris Saint-Germain romped to their biggest-ever win with a 9-0 thrashing of bottom side Guingamp.
