Long indigestible, the match between OL and Montpellier ended in added time of the second half with a terrible own goal from Khalil Fayad, this Saturday January 4 at Groupama Stadium.
A lunar action. While the spectacle was sorely lacking on the pitch at Groupama Stadium this Saturday between OL and Montpellier, Lyon's salvation came from an incredible MHSC own goal scored by the unfortunate Fayad (1-0). After a mid-height cross from Lacazette, Lecomte deflected towards Tolisso, who threw himself to resume, blocked by Tchato. But Khalil Fayad appeared to push the ball, despite himself, into his own net while tackling. An unlucky action especially since the latter missed a huge opportunity against Perri's goal a few minutes earlier.

This goal, as lucky as it is important, allows Les Gones to join Lille in 4th place, and find themselves two points off the podium. However, this Lyon success marred a much better Montpellier performance, with two big chances from Lucas Perri from the start of the match. “Tonight we're only going to remember the victory. We didn't create a game, we didn't demonstrate anything. That's not the image of the team. We're only going to remember the three points. We missed everything we usually do this evening. It smiles on us but it's not a deserved victory. We'll have to get back to work quickly, because this evening it's not enough. “, railed Jordan Veretout at the microphone of DAZN at final whistle.
With this new setback, the eleventh this season, Montpellier remains last with 9 points, four lengths behind play-off Angers.
