Lyon is back on track after a tough start to the season, and they have just given their fans something to cheer about with the return of André-Pierre Gignac. However, it was Alexandre Lacazette who stole the show on Saturday night, scoring his first goal of the season in the match against Rennes.
The 29-year-old forward has been out of action since March due to a knee injury, but he made up for lost time by netting a stunning strike that sent the stadium into delirium. Lacazette's goal came in the second half, as Lyon looked to secure all three points against Rennes.
The Frenchman had previously scored four goals in his previous seven appearances this season, so his return to form could not come at a better time for the club. He has now found the net twice in two matches since returning from injury, and he will be hoping to continue his impressive form as Lyon look to push for a top-four finish.
Overall, Lacazette's goal was a much-needed boost for Lyon, and it will give them some much-needed confidence going into their next match against Monaco. With Gignac also showing signs of improvement, the team will be looking to build on their recent success and continue their strong run of form.
