LYON: Memphis Depay and Moussa Dem­bele both scored twice as Olympique Lyon­nais won again in Ligue 1 under new coach Sylvinho by routing Angers 6-0 on Friday.

Houssem Aouar opened the scoring from outside the penalty area in the 11th minute, Dembele scored in the 37th after cutting inside a defender, and Depay grabbed his first before the break.

The Dutch forward scored his second after beating the offside trap, Dembele made it 5-0 in the 65th, and Brazilian midfielder Jean Lucas came on as a substitute to complete the scoring in the 72nd. Lyon, who lost several top players in the offseason including World Cup winner Nabil Fekir, Tanguy Ndombele, and Ferland Mendy, have a new coaching setup in Sylvinho and sporting director Juninho.
