Bordeaux on away loss to Lyon at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday. Lyon arrived with the intention of increasing their league score following a disappointing 1-1 draw with RC Strasburg in their previous game. Bordeaux were able to continue their winning streak after a 3-1 win against FC Metz in their last match. As the table looks today, Lyon are in 8th place on the table and has 49 points while Bordeaux sit in 19th with 26 points after 32 matches.

Lyon didn’t take long to start the rout, with Moussa Dembele opening the rout in the 20th minute. Lyon looked to have the game under control when they scored again and increased their lead, thanks to a goal from Karl Toko Ekambi at the 27 minute mark to establish a 2-0. The momentum was now with The Kids, who then scored again through a goal from Lucas Paqueta in the 34th minute to establish a 3-0. However they weren’t finished yet and Romain Faivre made it 4-0 just before half-time, finalising the first half 4-0.

Lyon continued to pile on the pressure in the second and were rewarded, with Karl Toko Ekambi finding the net again in the 68th minute. However, Les Girondins weren’t lying down and managed to pull back a goal from Sekou Mara, 85 minutes in. In the end though, Lyon secured the points emphatically, with a second effort from Moussa Dembele just before the final whistle and seeing the game end 6-1.

For Lyon, Emerson, Jeff Reine-Adelaide, Houssem Aouar, Bradley Barcola and Jerome Boateng, came on for Malo Gusto, Romain Faivre, Lucas Paqueta, Tete and Thiago Mendes. Bordeaux brought on Remi Oudin, Javairo Dilrosun, Enock Kwateng, Sekou Mara and Fransergio, to replace Mbaye Niang, Yacine Adli, Tom Lacoux, Hwang Ui-Jo and Abdel Jalil.

Lyon will next travel to Brest, while Bordeaux will face Saint-Étienne at home.
