Lacazette's goal to offer the derby to the Lyonnais

OL won the derby against Saint-Étienne this Sunday, at the end of the 11th day of Ligue 1, by opening the score before the half-hour mark thanks to Alexandre Lacazette.

It could only be him. For the big return of the derby almost three years after the last, OL got off to a better start against Saint-Étienne this Sunday at Groupama Stadium. In front of burning supporters, Alexandre Lacazette opened the scoring before the half-hour mark. The only goal in Lyon's 1-0 victory.

From a corner, Caleta-Car put away towards Tolisso. From a bicycle, the midfielder turned into a decisive passer for his great friend, the “General”, a knee scorer.

Monsieur derby

For his first derby since the 2016-2017 season, Lacazette scored his sixth goal in 13 games against Saint-Étienne, his second of the season.

The Lyon captain launched his team perfectly in an exceptional atmosphere in Lyon. Between smoke bombs, fireworks and tifos, the Lyon supporters did things in a big way for the return of the derby. Enough to delay the start of the match, since the smoke prevented good visibility on the pitch.
