Watch: Lacazette bags brace to reach 100 Lyon goals in final match
On Saturday at the Stade des Lumieres, all of Lyon celebrated Alexandre Lacazette's final match.
And what a farewell it was.
First, the French international channeled his inner Dennis Bergkamp to deftly corral Jeremy Morel's pass before firing beyond Nice's Yoan Cardinale.

That goal gave Lacazette 99 tallies in a Les Gones kit, and, in a moment fitting of a player of his stature, the Lyon-born striker and academy product reached the century milestone with a smart chip in the 78th minute.
A hundred goals in 203 matches is quite the standard, and, naturally, Les Gones supporters paid tribute to the 25-year-old as he marched off the Lyon pitch for a final time. Bonne chance, Laca!
