Berigaud scores a double as Evian TG surprises Lyon

Kevin Berigaud do the "Chicken Dance"after scoring his first goal. 

Very good.

Kevin Berigaud scored a double and that is enough to upset league leading Olympique Lyonnais in the latest round of French Ligue 1.  Evian TG is far behind Olympique Lyonnais in the standings but it was the former who showed aggressiveness after kick off.  That aggressiveness paid off as by the 7th minute,  Cedric Barbosa got a nice pass from Brice Dedje but just couldnt finished it off.  In the succeeding minute however, a series of passes brought the ball to Cedric Barbosa who made a nice through ball to the rushing Kevin Berigaud who beat his marker Steed Malbraque of Lyon to score the opening goal and send the crowd at Parc de Sports into a frenzy; unfurling the pink flags. 

Two minutes later, Evian almost scored another after Daniel Wass broke away in the right wing to deliver a cross which found its way to Cedric Barbosa who still shot wide despite enough space and opening. That scenario is repeated in the 18'minute with Djeje giving a cross which Fabrice Ehret could not finish.  Evian TG made its second goal in the 33rd minute after a give and go between  Berigaud and Wass resulted in a nice break away by Berigaud for a wide open shot that found the back of the net. 

Olympique Lyonnais also scored some opportunities as in the 45th minute, striker Alexandre Lacazette delivered a nice pass to Nabil Fekir whose close range shot was blocked by Johann Duran, Evian's goalkeeper. 

Olympic Lyonnais however threatened in the second half as barely four minutes into the second half, Jordan Ferri scored a cracker 49th minute. Ferri's goal emboldened Lyonnais to attack as in the 52nd minute Alexandre Lacazette delivered a potential goal producing cross to Yassin Benzia but which was timely blocked by Johann Mensah.  

As the second half draw to a close, Evian had the most opportunity.  Fabrice Ehret got a nice header but just went wide in the 63rd minute; Modou Sonogou's breakaway but was saved by Remy Vercoutre in the 81'st minute, and an interception and a breakaway by substitute Facundo Bertoglio whose shot just went wide. 

The game is tension filled. In the 19th minute,  as Alexandre Lacazette confronted Cedric Moungolou after a strong tackle which earned the latter a booking.

Evian improved with 4 points and is now on the 16th spot while Olympique Lyonnais dropped to 8th place. AS Monaco is still on the early lead with  10 pts followed by Olympique de Marseille.  AS St. Etienne and Paris St. Germain complete the league's top four.
