Paris - Alexandre Lacazette scored his 21st league goal of the season as Lyon fought back from behind to win 4-2 at home to Dijon in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

Corentin Tolisso poked the ball in following a corner to give Lyon the lead in the 11th minute at the Stade des Lumieres, but Julio Tavares headed Dijon level before the interval.

Dijon had already beaten Lyon at home when the teams last met in August and a repeat looked on the cards when Lois Diony scored his eighth goal of the season after Maxime Gonalons was caught in possession just outside his own box in the 48th minute.

Former Manchester United man Memphis Depay then had a goal disallowed for offside and it took the hosts until 10 minutes from the end to equalise, Tolisso netting again with a speculative effort from 20 yards.

Lacazette then put Lyon in front with a penalty in the 84th minute after Tavares was adjudged to have fouled Mouctar Diakhaby in the area, and Nabil Fekir wrapped up the win at the death.
