Lyon are clearly delighted to have Memphis in the squad and hope his strike will be the first of many after a January transfer that could rise to £21.7 million. So delighted, in fact, that they opted to preserve his shirt from the game.

The goal came on Memphis fourth appearance for the Ligue 1 side, five minutes after he had won a penalty which Alexandre Lacazette converted for Lyon's third of the evening.

The Holland international, who had replaced the injured Mathieu Valbuena before half-time, was then set up by Maxime Gonalons to open his account.
