Lyon 3-2 Eintracht Frankfurt: Visitors´ suffer first Europa League defeat

Eintracht Frankfurt’s unbeaten start in the Europa League came to an end as Lyon claimed a 3-2 victory.

Ernest Nuamah’s fine 54th-minute effort proved decisive, with Omar Marmoush’s late goal ultimately proving a consolation for Eintracht.

Marmoush has been in sensational form this season, but was left on the bench by Dino Toppmoller until after Eintracht were 3-1 down.

Nuamah hammered into the top corner four minutes after Malick Fofana had put Lyon 2-1 up, with those goals coming after Rayan Cherki had cancelled out Ansgar Knauff’s opener in the first half.

The victory takes Lyon into fourth place in the standings, one spot above Eintracht.

VICTORY

A fantastic team effort in the @EuropaLeague!
