There was genuine concern for Alexandre Lacazette (32) last night. Having scored the goal that got Olympique Lyonnais back into the game against Stade Brestois, deep in injury time, the former Arsenal forward earned a penalty that gave his side the chance to nick all three points.
However, the manner in which he earned it saw him leave the field on a stretcher. Marco Bizot thundered into Lacazette, with the Dutchman flying knees-first into the Frenchman’s torso. Initially, the penalty was not given but after consultation with VAR, the referee pointed to the spot and handed Bizot a yellow card.
