In-form Lacazette powers Lyon to victory once again

Paris - Alexandre Lacazette made it five goals from two Ligue 1 games this season as his brace of penalties allowed Lyon to beat Caen 2-0 on Friday and continue the club's perfect start to the French campaign.

Lacazette's first penalty came in the 31st minute and he netted again from 12 yards in the fifth minute of added time after an occasionally nervy second half for Lyon.

The goals gave last season's Ligue 1 runner-up six points from a possible six after Lacazette's hat-trick secured a 3-0 win away at promoted Nancy on the opening weekend.

Lacazette, who scored 48 league goals in the last two seasons, has been linked with big-money moves to Premier League sides Arsenal and West Ham this summer but Lyon coach Bruno Genesio has insisted he is going nowhere.

The 25-year-old, not part of the France squad at Euro 2016, has indicated he wants to play Champions League football, and his current club will feature in next week's draw for the group stage of that competition.
