00:00 ...to start the season. Forced the coaching change with the return of Julien Stéphane who did so well with Wendzel a couple of years ago.
00:11 Now he gets a chance to do it again.
00:14 To the top half and Arnold Calimwendzel gets us under way.

01:08 A nice touch from Thierry and a brilliant finish from the former Lyon man.
01:14 Martin Thierry back with a bang.
01:19 En-Nlegal, his first of the season. His first for over a year in the French top flights.

01:35 It was given away here by Ryan Scherke.
01:41 Nicely intercepted by Desiree Douhi.
01:45 Calimbenzo made the run as did Thierry.
01:48 A lovely first touch to take it beyond Dejan Lovren.

01:54 Into the front post.
01:56 Anthony Lopez with very little chance on Thierry's weaker left foot.
02:06 Rennes number 7 has the visitors in front here.
02:13 Lyon with it all to do.
02:15 Also the goal scorer in that 3-2-1.
02:19 True first ball looking for Calimbenzo.
02:23 Here's Desiree Douhi, slips one in to Thierry looking for a second.
02:29 Scherke looking to get them back in it.

02:49 And Rennes double their leads.
02:53 Brilliant from the young midfielder.
03:03 Julian, one of them there, Belosia providing the pass.
03:10 There are question marks of offside as Santamaria played the ball to Douhi.
03:15 No question marks about the finish though.
03:18 That is a beauty as he cuts inside on that right foot.
03:23 Fires one beyond Anthony Lopez.
03:26 A goal and an assist tonight for the 18-year-old.
03:32 And Rennes leads here at the Groupama Stadium 2-0.
03:35 By that stage since 1979-1980.
03:49 Maitland-Niles feeding Scherke here.
03:53 Marseille in the Olympico next weekend.
03:58 Here's Desiree Douhi looking to threaten again.
04:02 A lovely dummy from Lefebvre, Thierry.
04:05 And now Bourdieu, that's blocked.
04:08 How's in the box?
04:10 Douhi and Diawara in particular.
04:13 They'll be delivered now, looking for Truffaut.
04:16 And Martin Thierry is there again.
04:19 Rennes have a third.
04:22 And this is getting disastrous for Lyon.
04:28 Brilliant corner.
04:30 Bourdieu finding Truffaut.
04:33 It's a much simpler finish this time from Martin Thierry.
04:38 Rennes.
04:41 Three-0.
04:44 And we've not even reached half-time.

05:17 Desiree Douhi, a block.
05:24 A dominant opening half from Les Rougenois of Rennes.

05:32 Don't go anywhere. We'll recap the best moments of the opening half.
05:35 The second half starts now on BN Sports.
05:38 As wing-backs, Henrique, the Brazilian from Santa Maria.
05:49 And he had to clean up as Gifford-Orban was waiting.
05:53 Here comes substitute Henrique.
05:54 Nwama looking for the ball into the box.
06:00 Teat with the clearance. Henrique with the...
06:02 Maitland-Niles.
06:04 Nwama for Tolisso.
06:09 Bourdieu does well but it's back with Ernest Nwama.
06:12 Quick feet from the Ghanaian.
06:15 Henrique with the cutback.

06:26 Brilliant from the substitutes.
06:30 Henrique with the goal.
06:33 And Lyon...
06:39 Have some hope.
06:43 It's a lovely move. Khakiri-Orban.
06:48 Finding Lacazette. He links very well there with Maitland-Niles.
06:53 But it's all about the work from the Englishman.
06:56 This ball into the box for Henrique and a great finish.
07:00 Brilliant assist from Ainsley-Maitland-Niles.
07:05 And the two wing-backs combining to get Lyon.

07:18 Khakiri receives it from Tolisso.
07:21 Orban, Lacazette potentially in there.
07:24 Mateat.
07:27 There's also a 3-1 victory at Clermont before the winter break.

07:33 That goal is Steve Mandanda.
07:36 3-1 down at the moment.
07:38 Ernst Nwama for Henrique.
07:42 Lacazette.
07:43 Alexandre Lacazette.
07:45 That's brilliant from the captain.
07:47 And from almost nothing, Lyon have a second.
07:51 A ninth of the season in Ligue 1.
07:58 That's the top flight's second top scorer.
08:02 Nwama's ball here for Henrique.
08:05 He wins the header.
08:08 And Alexandre Lacazette. It's just simple through the legs of Mandanda.
08:12 But he does so well here. It's great body positioning.
08:16 And a lovely finish.
08:19 Makes something of nothing there.
08:22 And Lyon.

08:49 And Salah can't follow it up.

08:55 And they move into ninth place in the Ligue 1 table with the 25 points, overtaking Strasbourg.
09:05 Strasbourg.
