Reveillere: Lyon will roar on

Anthony Reveillere was delighted with Lyon's 3-0 defeat of Nantes which kept alive their chance of winning Ligue 1.

The win - Lyon's first in five - lifted them up to third, but still seven points behind Sunday's opponents Marseille and Bordeaux.

Jean Makoun scored twice in the first half and Anthony Mounier added another late on.

"It was a beautiful evening," said Reveillere. "It was a much better response on the field."

Reveillere is not giving up hope of winning the league with four games to go, and said the pressure will be on Marseille on Sunday.

"Anything can happen," he said. "Marseille will be the ones under pressure. Three victories and anything can happen.

"We have to believe. We will not lose focus, even though it is not in our own hands. We have to give everything, like we did tonight."

Midfielder Kim Kallstrom added: "It will depend on the others. But we are in better form and we have restarted the title race. In football, things change very quickly.

"It's always good going to Marseille and this game (on Sunday) will be bigger than ever."
