Amazing story with a happy ending for her Lyon.
Epic game at the ‘Groupama Stadium’, with Montpellier leading 1-4 in the 55th minute and Laurent Blanc’s side mounting a formidable counter-attack afterwards, which he completed in the 100th minute with the incredible Lacazette, which framed. As a result, it came close to -3 in the European zone, taking advantage of the defeats of Lille and Rennes.
The 32-year-old forward opened the scoring in the 31st minute with a powerful shot from Barkola’s effort, but then the formidable Wahi took over for the visitors, scoring four goals in around 15 minutes of action. Within two minutes he made the turnaround (40′, 41′), while he entered the second half hungry scoring two more goals (53′, 55′).
Lyon did not give up and in fact Lacazette, who reduced in the 59th minute with a touch execution and then there was… downhill on the field. In the 70th minute, Lovren found the net with a header, to make it 4-4 in the 82nd minute with a powerful shot by Lacazette. Two minutes before, Barcola’s goal had been disallowed for offside. Lyon pressed hard, closed the guests even more in the area and Lacazette shot with cool blood at 90’+10′ for 5-4. Thus, he reached 24 goals in this year’s league and 28 in the season.
Earlier, Monaco beat Angers 2-1 away, put their feet firmly on the Europa League-leading 4th place, while staying alive for the Champions League after dropping to six from 3rd due to Marseille’s defeat by Lance (2-1).
