Alexandre Lacazette scores late winner for Lyon against Reims

Alexandre Lacazette scored a last-minute winner for Lyon to beat Reims 2-1 at the Stade de Gerland this evening.

The goal was Lacazette's ninth in 10 appearances this season and moves the club up to third in the table behind Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille.

Lyon broke the deadlock early on after Corentin Tolisso was left unmarked to head in a free kick on the fifth minute.

Benjamin Moukandjo levelled the scores just before half time after goalkeeper Anthony Lopes could only parry a deflected shot into the path of Moukandjo, who equalised easily.

The game looked to be heading for a draw but Lacazette picked up the ball on the right-hand side and his cross was palmed in by Reims goalkeeper Johnny Placide to gift Lyon all three points.

The defeat keeps Reims in ninth position.
