Top scorer: Lacazette forces final-day showdown

Article image:Top scorer: Lacazette forces final-day showdown

Alexandre Lacazette moved within one goal of leader Kylian Mbappé to take the race for the top scorer crown to the final day of the season.

Lacazette took advantage of a rare off night for Mbappé by closing the gap and registering his 27th goal of a prolific campaign for the Frenchman.

The Lyon striker was again the beneficiary of some fine play from starlet Bradley Barcola, before firing home in his side's 3-0 win over Reims.

Cool head

Jonathan David netted twice in LOSC's 2-1 win against Nantes to move to an impressive 24 goals for the season.

The Canadian's first goal came from the penalty spot to get Paulo Fonseca's side back on level terms.

Loïs Openda was also clinical from the penalty spot as Lens booked their place in next season's Champions League group stages.

The Belgian stepped up to fire his 20th goal of the season and Lens' third in their comfortable 3-0 win over Ajaccio.

Lionel Messi was back among the goals in Paris Saint-Germain's 1-1 draw at Strasbourg.

Messi linked up with Mbappé before firing the newly-crowned Ligue 1 Uber Eats champions ahead.

Next up…

The final Round of the season is a straight shootout between 28-goal Mbappé and Lacazette who is one goal behind the PSG man.

Mbappé hopes to add this season's top scorer prize to his title-winning success when PSG host Clermont. Lacazette and Lyon head to Nice on the final day hoping to cap off a superb campaign for the club, by pipping the World Cup winner to the line.

Should both stars fail to add to their respective totals, LOSC striker David holds an outside chance of catching the pair but will need his shooting boots on when Les Dogues head to relegated Troyes.
