Lyon can say thank you to Memphis Depay! Once again in great difficulty in the game, OL relied on its star striker, author of a double, to snatch victory in Toulouse (3-2), Saturday night at the 12th day of the League 1. The Dutch, from a solitary rush, delivered his team at the end of the extra time (90 + 5). With four goals in three games, Memphis Depay confirms his status of "savior" men of Rudi Garcia, still far from convincing. But with this second win in the league, the Lyonnais back to 8th place (16 pts), just three points on the podium.
Among the top three, we find Angers, winner of Strasbourg (1-0). The SCO, which had not won since four games, has returned the way thanks to Stéphane Bahoken, scorer on penalty against his former club. With 20 points, the Angevins temporarily find the second place, 7 points from PSG.
The Nîmes-Rennes match postponed because of bad weather
The Brestois could also have dreamed of the podium, but in Amiens, they could do nothing, beaten after a goal from Juan Otero (1-0) during a meeting marked by the fall of a supporter from a platform of the stadium. Injured, the man was evacuated on a stretcher before being transported to CHU Amiens-Picardie, according to the stadium announcer. For his part, the promoted Metz saw Montpellier join him at the end of the match (2-2), and remains relegable (19th).
Note, finally, that the match between Nimes and Rennes has been postponed to a later date due to severe weather. Sunday, Nantes can find the second place in case of victory in Bordeaux (15h), while Saint-Etienne will face Monaco (21h) at the end of this 12th day.
