   ​Arkema Première Ligue week 4 results: Big Stadiums Day, Caroline Weir’s cracker and a teenage sensationThe Arkema Première Ligue is back after a League Cup break. OL Lyonnes and PSG still share the top spot ahead of their tightest clash in years after the international break, while a teenager’s breakthrough is turning heads in Normandy. Week 4 was also picked by the league’s organisers (LFFP) to host the second edition of the ‘Big Stadiums Day’.Read on for our roundup of the weekend in French football.Quality display despite overhyped ‘Big Stadiums Day’The inaugural ‘Big Stadiums Day’ was a resounding success last season. Last March, the LFFP invited clubs to play at their men’s teams’ stadiums – if they were not already doing so – in a bid to boost attendance in the Arkema Première Ligue. The initiative proved hugely successful, attracting a total of 69,313 spectators, while the league’s single-match attendance record was set at Marseille’s Vélodrome, where 35,713 fans attended.This year, however, the second edition felt somewhat overstated, with Lyon and Nantes both releasing far from groundbreaking attendance figures.

Back from an ACL injury that kept her sidelined for a year, wonderkid Liana Joseph found the back of the net in just her second game since returning. Caroline Weir completed the ‘manita’ with a stunning long-range strike. The Scotland captain scored in her first league game with Lyon.PSG confident before heavyweight clashJust like Lyon, PSG also kept their four-game winning streak alive by dominating their neighbours Fleury (1-3). Teenager Léa Morissaint showed nerves of steel to convert a penalty before Nigerian internationals Jennifer Echegini and Rasheedat Ajibade extended PSG’s lead. Former Leicester City forward Shana Chossenotte pulled one back for Fleury with a clinical finish in the last quarter. Fresh from a thumping 5-0 win against OH Leuven in the UWCL, PSG are now ready to take on their bi
