PARIS, May 11 (Reuters) - Ten-man Olympique Lyon's title challenge ended in embarrassment when they were humbled 4-0 at mid-table Auxerre on Wednesday.
Ligue 1 leaders Lille won 2-1 at St Etienne on Tuesday and, with three games left, third-placed Lyon trail by 10 points and must now battle to stay in the Champions League qualifying spots.
Claude Puel's side beat second-placed Olympique Marseille 3-2 at the weekend but their trip to Auxerre started to go wrong when Dennis Oliech netted a 20th minute opener and then defender Dejan Lovren was dismissed for a second booking on 39.
Alain Traore bagged two goals to further ease Auxerre's outside fears of the drop before Cedric Hengbart completed the rout.
Marseille were hosting Stade Brest in Wednesday's late game, trying to cut Lille's advantage back to four points. Fourth from bottom Monaco remained in trouble after a 3-0 defeat at Sochaux while mid-table Girondins Bordeaux lost their first game since the resignation of coach Jean Tigana, going down 1-0 at Racing Lens to give the second from bottom team a lifeline.
