Lyon, who had been struggling for consistent form after their earlier impressive run of victories, came into this fixture needing a positive result to arrest their slide in the Ligue 1 standings. Pavel Sulc gave them a perfect start in the 42nd minute, scoring to give the home side a lead that the Groupama Stadium crowd immediately embraced with enthusiasm.

Balogun then converted a penalty in the 72nd minute to give Monaco the lead, before Tagliafico equalised in the 89th minute only to discover the officials had already confirmed the visitors’ win.
