Late Alexandre Lacazette brace stuns Evian TG

Alexandre Lacazette converts a last-minute penalty as Lyon beat Evian 3-2 to move third in the Ligue 1 table.

Alexandre Lacazette struck a 94th-minute winner as Lyon came from behind to beat Evian TG 3-2 in a dramatic clash at Parc des Sports this afternoon.

Evian opened the scoring shortly before the half-hour mark as Cedric Barbosa fired a free-kick past Anthony Lopes on 28 minutes.

Yassine Benzia levelled up the game on 63 minutes, tapping a rebound past Jesper Hansen, who had saved a Lacazette free kick.

The lead lasted barely more than a minute, however, as Barbosa struck again to help swing the game in Evian's favour.

The hosts looked good for the victory, but Lacazette equalised on 82 minutes, before reproducing his heroics late on with a last-gasp penalty to snatch the three points.

Consequently, Lyon move third in the Ligue 1 table - the last Champions League qualification place.
