MARSEILLE, March 9 (Reuters) - Olympique Lyon moved closer to a seventh consecutive Ligue 1 title by beating Girondins Bordeaux 4-2 with two Mathieu Bodmer goals in a pulsating top-of-the-table clash on Sunday.

Lyon gained a measure of consolation for their Champions League elimination by Manchester United, moving six points clear of second-placed Bordeaux.

Midfielder Bodmer showed the home side the way by tapping home a Fabio Grosso cross on 12 minutes before doubling the advantage with a classic effort 12 minutes later.

Bodmer controlled the ball with his chest once to flick the ball over Bordeaux midfielder Alou Diarra, then twice before firing into the top right corner with a magnificent volley.

Visitors Bordeaux kept fighting and reduced the arrears before the break with a free kick from 25 metres by Brazilian midfielder Wendel.

Lyon were soon back in control, however, France striker Karim Benzema scoring with an angled shot from the edge of the box for his 17th league goal this season five minutes into the second half.

Argentine striker Fernando Cavenaghi kept the match alive with a penalty for Bordeaux 10 minutes later but Lyon held tight before completing the scoring in added time through Ivory Coast forward Kader Keita.
