Lyon beat Marseille 3-2 amid refereeing controversy

PARIS, May 8 (Reuters) - Olympique Lyon hurt Olympique Marseille's championship ambitions and fuelled their own outside hopes with a thrilling 3-2 home win on Sunday in which the visitors had a perfectly good goal ruled out early on.

Third-placed Lyon moved seven points behind leaders Lille, who won 1-0 at AS Nancy on Saturday to go four clear of defending champions Marseille with four games left.
Defender Cris grabbed the winner with a sweet strike six minutes from time after the hosts had surrendered a two-goal lead.
Lyon's Lisandro Lopez netted a 25th-minute opener from the spot after referee Stephane Lannoy decided he was fouled by Marseille centre back Souleymane Diawara, having earlier wrongly ruled out Loic Remy's strike for a non-existent handball.
Lyon extended their advantage on 69 minutes through Cesar Delgado after a counter-attack but Marseille hit back immediately when Lucho Gonzalez turned in a low cross before Remy bagged an equaliser following a corner.
