Lyon coach Hubert Fournier shrugged off questions about his future at the club after his side's 5-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 on Sunday. Fournier's men were brushed


aside by the table-topping title-holders, for whom Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a brace and Serge Aurier, Edinson Cavani and Lucas Moura also netted. Jordan Ferri had earlier scored what proved


to be a consolation for the visitors. You may like Lyon were PSG's main title challengers last term, but this season is a different story and Fournier's side are sixth on the


table with scant hope of mounting a push for honours. Fournier defended his players' performance in the heavy defeat, saying: "The victory of PSG seems logical, but the score seems


harsh. "The third goal hurt us. It ended the suspense and put PSG in some comfort. The fourth goal seems to be a refereeing error and the fifth is [incidental]. "We helped them


with our start to the match." The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week. Lyon are now winless in their last five Ligue 1 matches, and questions


are starting to be asked of Fournier's tenure at Lyon, but he gave the doubters short shrift. "My personal future is not important right now," he said. "I liked the


attitude of the players, despite facing opponents who are much higher [placed] than us, we were united and we showed courage. "I am obviously disappointed with the result, but I'm


reassured about the state of mind of the boys."
