Decisive figure powers Lyon with goal and craft | OneFootball

Corentin Tolisso created the breakthrough in the seventh minute with a precise pass, and Lyon beat Rennes 4-0. The midfielder later thumped into the top left (76.) to cap a dominant, all-action display.

Tolisso set the tone early, sliding an incisive ball into the centre for the opener in the seventh minute. From there he kept Lyon moving forward with crisp combinations and quick switches of play.

On the stroke of the interval, he threaded a through ball in the first minute of first half stoppage time for Pavel Sulc, drawing another save and pinning Rennes deep. After the restart he arrived on the break to lash home from range (76.), sealing a commanding night.

He finished with two shots on target, two big chances created and won possession 10 times, a blend of control and bite that let Les Gones dictate. His 13 successful passes in the final third underlined how often he linked midfield to attack.

Operating as Lyon's advanced midfielder in a 4-2-3-1, he kept finding pockets between Rennes' lines, receiving on the half-turn and driving his team through key phases.

Les Gones sit second on 11 points and visit Lens next. Rennes are fifth and host Auxerre next.
