TOPS
Moussa Dembele goes for his double
The Lyon captain, who has been in very good shape in recent weeks, scored twice against SCO Angers this Sunday. He first opened the scoring after a great collective action initiated by Faivre and continued by Ndombélé. Moussa Dembélé concluded from the right in the area (26th) and allowed the Lyonnais to return to the locker room with the advantage. In the second half, he put his team back in front after the Angevin equalizer. Superbly served with a heel by Paqueta, the Lyon striker deceived Mandrea from the right (52nd). Moussa Dembélé has 12 goals this season in Ligue 1.
The poison Romain Faivre
Arrived this winter from Brest, Romain Faivre has already found his marks at OL. Very inspired this Sunday, he was a real poison for the whole Angers team. Very active and available for his teammates, he varied his game and hurt the opposing defense very badly with his ball and dribbling. He didn’t hesitate to move out of the way to get back to the heart of the game. He could have punctuated his fine performance with a goal if Mandrea hadn’t made a good save (57th). A very successful match from the former Brestois who brings a real plus to the Lyon game.
Rookie Tetê saves OL
Arrived only two days ago in Lyon, from Chakhtar Donetsk, Tete signed his arrival in the best possible way. Replacing Ndombélé in the 78th minute, the Brazilian immediately stood out by scoring his first goal in OL colors at Groupama Stadium two minutes after coming on. After a good throw-in from Gusto, Tete rolled his shot from the left in the small net of Mandrea (80th). The Brazilian thus offers victory to his new team as soon as he arrives. A great way to start your Lyon adventure.
FLOPS
Angers can’t do it anymore
The Angevins lost again this season and are now 14 defeats in 30 league games. This Sunday, Gerald Baticle’s men fought to the end and came back twice to score. Unfortunately for them, they end up bowing out after a frustrating and uncertain scenario. With this defeat, Angers is 14th in Ligue 1 and sees Saint-Etienne, play-off, come back to 5 lengths just 8 games from the end of the season. The danger is real for the Angevins.
The Angevin defense in difficulty
Faced with motivated Lyonnais and hit by their public at Groupama Stadium, Angers suffered this Sunday. His defense did not hold up against the inspired and efficient Lyon strikers who scored three times this afternoon. Very in difficulty, the Angevin defense conceded 9 corners, 15 strikes and made no less than 13 faults to try to stop Les Gones. Finally, the Angevins cracked at the end of the match, on a goal from Tete who had time to be able to place his shot where he wanted and adjust Mandrea. A delicate match for Angers defensively.
