PSG has recovered "his" throne.
For Lyon, on paper, "the case" seemed largely playable this Sunday evening.
Gones unbeaten since September 15, more than 4 months (their only setback of the season in Montpellier) and in steamroller mode since early October.
OL, often exciting, remained on 10 wins and 3 draws in their last 13 games.
But there is the paper.
And also the reality.
Faced with Metz, surprising since the start of the season, led wonderfully by Frédéric Antonetti, Rudi Garcia's team stumbled.
She who had taken the habit of stacking goals lately, in the wake of her super triplet Toko Ekambi - Memphis - Kadewere, pulled her teeth out on Sunday night.
So yes, OL pushed.
Pushed a lot, but missed the target too many times.
The Lorraine, for their part, were again astonishing.
They never closed the game and even got themselves several very clear chances.
Iseka's goal, at the very end of the match (90th), rewarded the excellent performance of Messins.
And it is anything but a heist.
