PARIS: Olympique Lyon further undermined their chances of recapturing the Ligue 1 title after a 1-1 draw at Monaco dropped them 10 points behind leaders Bordeaux on Sunday.
Seven-time champions Lyon, who lost their crown to Bordeaux last May, started well, Brazilian midfielder Michel Bastos (pictured) putting them ahead with a super angled free kick on 22 minutes.
The home side, however, earned a share of the points when Korean forward Park Chu-young volleyed home a Sebastien Puygrenier headed pass 12 minutes later.
