Fekir returns as Lyon brush aside Strasbourg
Genesio’s men pick up second win from as many home matches
Paris: Nabil Fekir made his first appearance of the new season as Lyon bounced back from last week’s surprise loss to Reims by seeing off Strasbourg 2-0 in Ligue 1 on Friday.
Bruno Genesio’s men eased to their second victory from as many league home matches this term thanks to goals from Martin Terrier and Bertrand Traore, while Fekir, who saw a move to Liverpool fall through in the close season, played the last 11 minutes.
The home side took the lead shortly before half-time as full-back Ferland Mendy slipped through an inch-perfect pass for Terrier, who spent last season on loan at Strasbourg, to curl into the bottom corner. Former Chelsea forward Traore wrapped up the win in style with a fantastic individual goal in the 64th minute.
