PARIS, France -- Lyon edged ahead of Nancy at the top of the French league with a 3-1 win at Bordeaux.
Benzema's goal was his 10th in what is becoming an impressive season.
Alain Perrin's team showed that although they have made a poor start to their Champions League campaign they will take some stopping as they bid for a seventh successive domestic title.
Lyon lead on goal difference from Nancy, 3-1 conquerors of Monaco on Friday, with Le Mans third, a place ahead of Bordeaux.
Brazilian midfielder Juninho and France forward Karim Benzema were the key figures as Lyon exposed Bordeaux's limitations in the title chase.
Juninho created the opening goal for fellow countryman Cleber to head in a free-kick after five minutes.
After 23 minutes Hatem Ben Arfa set up Benzema for his 10th goal of an impressive season.
Juninho set up a goal for Swede Kim Kallstrom before another Brazilian Jussie pulled one back seven minutes from time.
It all proved that Laurent Blanc's team have a long way to go if they are to hope to eventually run Lyon close when the silverware is handed out at the end of the season.
In Sunday's other match, a goal from Achille Emana gave Toulouse a 1-0 victory at second from bottom Sochaux. E-mail to a friend
