Lyon held by Nimes

Published September 20, 2020

PARIS: Lyon’s slow start to the Ligue 1 season continued when they were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Nimes on Friday.

Memphis Depay, who has been linked with a move to Barcelona, and Moussa Dembele were both in the Lyon starting line-up but neither figured strongly in a lacklustre performance.

The home side have not won since the opening round of games and looked a shadow of the side that reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and lost to Paris Saint-Germain in the French League Cup final in August.

After four games, Lyon are down in tenth in the table with just one point more than Nimes.
