NEWS NEWS>>> “This is the first time I’ve ever played a game like this,” said Lyon’s match winner Ashley…
The guy who made the decision in a wild seven-goal thrais iller was Ainsley Maitland-Niles. With his penalty kick in the 106th minute, Olympique Lyonnais defeated Stade Brestois 4-3, moving the team up to 7th in Ligue and, for the first time this season, into the European spots.
In the eighteenth minute, Corentin Tolisso gave Lyon the lead, but Brest rallied. Les Ty Zéfs turned the tide of the match in the second half with three goals in eight minutes, two of which came from former Lyon attacker Romain Del Castillo. But Alexandre Lacazette cut the lead in half moments after Brest’s third goal, and Nicolás Tagliafico tied the game at three minutes later.
There was more drama to come. Subsequently, Tagliafico and Pierre Lees-Melou were both dismissed for a fight that the former started. Eric Roy called the decision to dismiss Lees-Melou after the game “scandalous.” In the last seconds, Lyon was awarded a penalty as a result of the ruling.
Marco Bizot shoved Lacazette, and following a protracted VAR review, the penalty was given. But Lacazette, who was carted out on a stretcher, refused to accept the spot-kick. So Maitland-Niles took the initiative, gave Bizot a hard time, and helped Lyon win big with three points.
