(Ligue 1 2023/2024): Highlights MONTPELLIER - LYON

No Ligue 1 over 8 fixture has seen more goals in the last few years than the match-ups between Montpellier and Lyon. And both teams were going into Sunday's match desperate for a win, on 19 points each and hovering just above the relegation zone. The hosts still without a win since the turn of the year, whereas the new-look Lyon side were looking to cap off an ideal week and carry on their season revival. But it was Montpellier who were on the front foot in the first half. As Nordin found Savanier on the edge of the box. The captain's shot trickling through to Adams who converted from close range. But the linesman's flag was up straight away. The hosts continued to threaten though, with Silas sending it across and Nordin beating Nemanja Matic to the ball to head in the opener. The forward broke the deadlock with his third goal of the campaign. And it continued to be all Montpellier throughout the first half, as the hosts looked to double their lead. Hefty putting it back for Nordin, who teed up Trotard for a first-time shot. But it's punched away by Lopez. Side Benrahma standing over the free kick in stoppage time. The Algerian curled it over the wall but his effort was just wide. The new signing inches away from announcing himself to his new fans in style on his debut. Lyon were struggling to break down a solid and clinical Montpellier side. Who were on track for their first home win against Lyon in nearly four years. And the businesses were attacking with intent straight away after the break. Benrahma again with the chance as the forward curled it towards the far post. But once again it was just wide. Montpellier had a chance to double their lead minutes later. Hefty's cross finding its way to Adams at the back post but Lopez was able to get across in time. Lyon just about kept in the game by their goalkeeper. Lyon pushing for the equaliser as Tagliafico played it to Lacazette who took it past the defender and fired it in from a tight angle. The captain answering the call when his team needed him most and scoring his 11th of the season. And the momentum was with Lyon going into the final 10 minutes. The call had cleared to Maxence Gagré on the edge of the box. And he unleashed a shot in off the bar. Gagré scoring his timely first goal of the season in emphatic style. Lyon turning the match on its head in a matter of minutes. And Pierre Sages's men finally putting some daylight between themselves and the relegation zone. After a disastrous start to the campaign.
