After more than two months of invincibility in the championship, AS Monaco ended up falling at Décines. At the end of a very open meeting in a melting Groupama Stadium, Olympique Lyonnais won against runners-up Paris Saint-Germain in a roller coaster-like match (3-2). Trailing after only 21 seconds of play, OL managed to tame their opponent in a display that kept all its promises in terms of spectacle.
Thanks to this brilliantly acquired success, the Rhone residents are temporarily in seventh place in Ligue 1. Still second and directly qualified for the next Champions League, Monaco is only three points ahead of Lille, fourth. This Asemist defeat also formalizes the twelfth French championship title for Paris Saint-Germain.
Ligue 1 is celebrating in terms of goals this Sunday! After the 21 goals scored in the first four matches of the day, Lyon and Monaco offered a new offensive festival to the delight of fans of thrills. From the start of the meeting, the visitors proved that their visit to the capital of Gaul was not touristy. On the first shot of the match, Wissam Ben Yedder opened the scoring to plunge an entire stadium into doubt (1st, 0-1). Surprised, the locals brought out the heavy artillery to respond to the second best attack in the championship.
50 goals in 70 games with OL for Lacazette
Result of the races: Alexandre Lacazette scored his 50th goal since his return to Lyon following a cross from the left from Saïd Benrahma (22nd, 1-1). Initially a passer, the Algerian international turned into a scorer thanks to a powerful strike from the penalty spot (26th, 2-1). Disconcerted by this wind of revolt, AS Monaco waited until half-time to make changes. With three starters, Adolf Hütter modified the tactical layout of his team and this materialized in a new territorial domination after returning from the locker room.
At the end of a controlled first quarter of an hour in the second period, Wissam Ben Yedder scored twice thanks to a clever header (60th, 2-2). The Monegasque number 10 could even have achieved the hat-trick but a logically whistled offside prevented the captain of the Principality club from becoming the hero of this meeting (78th). Finally, Lacazette punctuated his magnificent individual performance with an assist to Malick Fofana, who went like an arrow on a counter-attack to deceive Radoslaw Majecki (84th, 3-2). Lyon could have added to the score at the very end of the match, but Les Gones are happily content with this new success. This now makes 21 points for OL in Ligue 1 after conceding the opener. In the clash against the Rock, Lyon became the king of the jungle.
