Gift Orban brace hands Lyon thrilling comeback win against Strasbourg

Lyon overturned a 3-1 deficit to defeat Strasbourg 4-3, earning their first Ligue 1 win of the season. Gift Orban was the hero, scoring two goals, including the winner.

Strasbourg dominated early, with Sebastian Nanasi scoring in the 2nd minute.

Lyon equalised just before the break when Lacazette’s strike from inside the box cannoned off the post and out to Tolisso, whose rebound deflected past the goalkeeper.

Losing the lead on the stroke of HT did nothing to faze Rosenior’s side, who again found the net within three minutes of kick-off.

Strasbourg extended their lead through Emanuel Emegha, but Lyon fought back. Alexandre Lacazette's rebound was tapped in by Ainsley Maitland-Niles to make it 2-3. Orban's equalizer was initially ruled out for offside, but VAR awarded the goal.

Lyon took the lead when Malick Fofana's cross found Orban, who powered the ball home.

Strasbourg couldn't find an equalizer, suffering their ninth away defeat in 10 matches. Lyon celebrated their eighth competitive win in 12 games.
