Lyon secured all three points in their Ligue 1 clash against Nice on Saturday evening, thanks to a late penalty from Alexandre Lacazette.
The match started off with both teams looking for an early goal, but it was Lyon who took the lead through a stunning strike from Rudi Vargas in the 26th minute. However, Nice quickly responded and equalized through a goal from Jonathan Ikoné just before half-time.
Despite the equalizer, Lyon continued to dominate the game and created several chances to take the lead again. But it wasn't until the 88th minute that they finally broke through. A corner kick from Lucas Paqueta found its way into the box, and Lacazette stepped up to convert from the spot to give Lyon the lead.
This was a well-deserved victory for Lyon, who have now won four out of their last five games in the league. They will be hoping to continue this momentum as they look to secure a top-four finish in the table.
Overall, it was a strong performance from Lyon, especially considering that they had to come back from behind. It was also pleasing to see Lacazette score his first goal of the season, which is certainly a positive sign for the French striker.
With this win, Lyon now sits in sixth place in the table, just two points behind fourth-placed Monaco. They will need to maintain this form if they want to push for a top-four finish and potentially qualify for Europe next season.
