0-3: A ‘hat trick’ from Lacazette gives Lyon a pass and air to Blanc

A hat-trick by striker Alexander Lacazette facilitated victory at the Groupama Academy Stadium for Lyon, who beat Chambéry, from the fifth category of French football, 0-3, and qualified for the Cup round of 16.

Lacazette did not spring a surprise and eased the situation of his coach Laurent Blanc, who was questioned by the team’s poor performance in Ligue 1, where the table is ninth after a win in the last six days-

Lacazette left the clash doomed after half an hour when he scored the first two goals, both assisted by Brazilian Tete. In the second half, in the 67th minute, he rounded off Lyon’s victory after heading a pass from Bradley Barcola into the net.

change of battle scene

The match was played at the Lyon stadium despite the fact that the draw meant that Chambéry would play at home. Finally, the match scene was changed because the stadium was not approved by this mediocre team.

Lyon join Olympique Marseille in the round of 16, who on Friday secured their qualification by beating Rennes 1-0 at the Vélodrome.
