Scorer for the first time in Ligue 1 this Sunday in Le Havre (0-4), Alexandre Lacazette ended a long drought. A breath of fresh air for the OL striker.
And in the 71st minute of the confrontation between Le Havre and OL (0-4), it was deliverance. First of all, for the Rhone residents, since they were now leading 3-0 against Le Havre, and could quietly move towards victory. But also, and perhaps above all, for Alexandre Lacazette. The Lyon captain, served on a platter by Rayan Cherkifound the fault for the first time in Ligue 1 after a drought of six matches, since the reception of Strasbourg last May during the 2023-2024 season (2-1).
This deserved a “Finally !“, launched on his social networks. For him, this is necessarily good news, 17 days after his double in the Europa League against Glasgow (1-4). The start of a series like this inexhaustible scorer can have? If this is the case, his team can smile.
“It was a difficult part for me”
After five consecutive successes in all competitions, OL had reason to celebrate in Normandy to conclude their weekend. “It’s an important victory, we were coming off a good run. We wanted to win after the break and we did it with a good performance, reacted the center forward to the microphone of DAZN. The goal? It does good. It’s nice to score in Ligue 1 […] This season I had chances, but I missed a lot. It was a difficult game for me with my back to the game against the Le Havre defenders.“Indeed, Lacazette was not necessarily successful before his achievement, but after a period of silence, his instinct woke up, at the best time for Olympique Lyonnais.
