Nuno Mendes leads as Corentin Tolisso’s OL dominate Ligue one matchday five team | OneFootball

Nuno Mendes headlined matchday five after driving Paris Saint-Germain’s Classique win at Marseille, while Lyon’s 4-0 demolition of Rennes supplied selections across the pitch. According to L'Équipe, the team of the week reflects those displays.

After a tough outing at Brest the previous week, Mendes responded at the Vélodrome, laying on a pinpoint pass for Marquinhos to make it 2-0. The Brazilian centre-back then netted his third of the season in the 2-1 win.

Now second behind Monaco, Lyon dominated the weekend. Ernest Nuamah struck twice, Corentin Tolisso delivered a goal and an assist, and summer arrival Zachary Athekame added a goal and an assist. The collective display earned Paulo Fonseca coach of the weekend.

Nice stunned Lille 2-1 to claim a first home league win in 326 days. Mohammed Amoura forced Nathan Ngoy’s error for the opener, then scored his first for the Aiglons.

In goal, Yehvann Diouf kept Nice in it with seven saves, including a spectacular stop from Ayase Ueda in the 82nd minute.

At Stade Marie-Marvingt, Le Mans claimed a landmark first Ligue one win in 16 years, beating Lorient. Djibril Sidibé won eight of 12 duels to kick-start his season with his new club. Lucas Bretelle and Adil Bourabaa, provider and scorer respectively, unsettled the visitors.
