Lacazette sent off as Lyon rocked by Montpellier
Lyon slumped to a second straight defeat to start the Ligue 1 season as captain Alexandre Lacazette was sent off in a 4-1 home loss to Montpellier on Saturday.
Beaten by Strasbourg last weekend, Lyon fell behind to an Arnaud Nordin goal before Jordan international Mousa Al-Tamari struck in either half for Montpellier.

Lacazette pulled a goal back but saw red for kicking out in frustration at the visitors' captain Teji Savanier.
Nigerian Akor Adams, who scored twice on his Montpellier debut in a 2-2 draw with Le Havre last weekend, compounded Lyon's misery with a fourth goal a minute from time.
