French football's disciplinary chiefs were on Monday weighing up whether to sanction Paris Saint-Germain after fans at the Parc des Princes unleashed a wave of homophobic chants during Sunday night's 3-1 win over Lyon that took them seven points clear at the top of Ligue 1.
Referee Benoît Bastien stopped play eight minutes into the second-half with PSG leading 2-1 after hearing the abusive din.
PSG skipper Achraf Hakimi approached supporters in the Auteuil stand behind one of the goals pleading for them to stop.
A message was also displayed on the stadium's giant screens warning spectators that such chants are forbidden.
"The match could be stopped and the game awarded to Lyon," the announcement added.
Play eventually resumed after a few minutes and substitute Gonçalo Ramos sealed the victory in the closing stages for the hosts. The Portugal international slotted home after Lyon goalkeeper Lucas Perri parried Bradley Barcola's shot into his path.
PSG boast 37 points after 15 of the season's 34 games. Marseille, who drew 1-1 with Lille on Saturday afernoon, lie in second with 30 points along with Monaco, who were held to a goalless draw at Reims on Saturday night.
"It was a fantastic weekend," said PSG boss Luis Enrique. "Out of the top nine teams, only PSG won and we've opened up a gap. We played against a very confident Lyon side who hadn't lost in 10 matches and I think we performed at a very high level."
