Brazil midfielder Lucas Paque♔ta turned a tight game into Lyon's favor on Saturday with his superb passing as soon as he went on, even though he on♍ly just returned from international duty.

Toko Ek🌳ambi held his nerve and netted from a short run up as he sent goalkeeper Alexander Nuebel the wrong way in the 75th minute🌸.

Paqueta played ♋a clever late pass to release former Chelsea left back Emerson, and hi𒅌s low cross could hardly be missed by Denayer from just two meters out.

After three goals in ജtwo games for France Under-21s during the international break, 18-year-old Rayan Cherki was handed a start up front for Lyon. He looked sharp.

In the day's other match defending﷽ cha🐬mpion Lille lost at Clermont 1-0 and was in ninth place.
