Dubois struck a sensational volley deep into injury time to secure the vital victory for the host, helping Rudi Garcia's side move one point ahead of Paris Saint-Germain, who visits Lorient, and Lille who hosts Dijon, both on Sunday.

Karl Toko Ekamibi put Lyon in front in the 32nd minute after grabbing a chance from a corner after Laurent Koscielny failed to clear the ball out of the box.

Bordeaux pressed for the equalizer in the second half and was rewarded after 55 minutes when Samuel Kalou latched onto Remi Oudin's cross and scored.
