Largely inspired in OL's victory against Nice on Sunday (4-1), Alexandre Lacazette brings his number of hat-tricks with his training club to seven. Since Sunday, the Lyon captain has overtaken Bernard Lacombe.
In the space of one match, he more than doubled his number of goals than since the start of the season. His achievement in the derby against Saint-Etienne before the break had given him some confidence, but after this match against Nice (4-1), Alexandre Lacazette seems more than ever on the right path. In the hour of play he spent on the pitch at Parc OL, number 10 of the’OL distinguished himself with a hat-trick. Three additional goals which bring his number of achievements in Ligue 1 to five after thirteen days. We are still far from the very great Lacazette but seeing the captain prove effective again in the penalty area is necessarily reason for hope for the weeks and months to come.
Almost a year after his last hat-trick
Left with the match ball, Alexandre Lacazette will be able to expand his collection at home. Because he has made a good reputation in the exercise since his professional debut. Sunday evening, the three goals scored were added to six other matches during which the “General” put the opposing goalkeeper to torture three times in 90 minutes. With seven hat-tricks at OL, he is now the reference in this area between Rhône and Saône with Simo Nikolic (1980-1985) as confirmed by the specialized site OL Past and Present. He shared second place with Bernard Lacombe and Nestor combine since December 10, 2023 and his three goals against Toulouse. A match which launched OL's incredible rise in the standings. What if Sunday was just the beginning of an attractive and successful Lyon team?
