Another purge under the belt of Pierre Sage’s OL. This Sunday afternoon, the Lyonnais carried out a robbery in Toulouse (1-2), with a tasteless performance and some revolting individual behavior.
Three days after the victory in the Europa League, Pierre Sage decided to rotate its large workforce. The coach thus offered Wilfried Zaha, Tanner Tessmann et Saël Kumbedi their first starts of the season. And left several star players on the bench like Corentin Tolisso, Nemanja Matic et Alexandre Lacazette. In total, eight changes compared to Thursday!
The reorganized Lyon team struggled greatly to produce play against the intense pressure from Toulouse in the first period.
And it was very logical that TFC opened the scoring in the 14th minute. Losing a lot of duels and unable to get the ball out cleanly, the Rhone defense was surprised behind its back by Yann Gboho who was cleaning the skylight Lucas Perri (1-0).
Luck, which was fleeing OL this season, intervened in favor of the teammates of Jordan Veretout. A cross from Saël Kumbedi was hijacked by two Toulouse players and deceived Guillaume Remains in the 27th minute (1-1).
In the second half, Lucas Perri won several times in the air and on a few well-aimed outings. Pierre Sage had to resolve to bring in his executives one by one to give a different face to his team. Wilfried Zaha, nonchalant and toxic during the meeting, left furious. We shouldn’t see the Ivorian again anytime soon.
While we thought the point of the draw was saved by a save at the Gordon Banks of Perri, it is Malick Fofana who made his partners explode with joy while enjoying a good job of Rayan Cherki (1-2).
Next Sunday, Lyon will host FC Nantes. But before that, we will have to go to Scotland to face Glasgow Rangers on Thursday evening during the second day of the Europa League.

Warnings : Veretout (10′) and Caleta-Car (48′) for Lyon
