France, Dec. 16 -- 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 chantsduring 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.
