The Ligue 1 round 7 match between Lyon and Ajaccio ended in a thrilling 2-1 victory for the home side. Lyon's striker Alexandre Lacazette scored his first major goal since returning to the team.

Lacazette had been out of form for much of this season but he showed why he is one of the best strikers in France when he opened the scoring with a powerful header from a corner in the 54th minute.

Ajaccio goalkeeper Mathieu Courtois made a couple of crucial saves in the second half to keep Lyon at bay but it was not enough as Lyon held on to their lead until the final whistle.

It was a good win for Lyon who have struggled recently and now sit in fourth place in the table. They will be hoping to continue their momentum going into the next round of fixtures.

Overall, it was a great performance from Lyon and Lacazette's goal was a real highlight. It will be interesting to see how they perform in the coming weeks and if they can maintain their form.
