Troyes 0-5 Lyon: Memphis Depay scores a hat-trick in crushing victory... and seals it with a Panenka penalty

  • Memphis Depay scored a hat trick for Lyon, sealed with a coolly taken penalty
  • Bertrand Traore and Mariano Diaz also scored either side of Depay's treble
  • The easy victory over newly-promoted Troyes moves Lyon up to fourth in Ligue 1 

Memphis Depay scored a hat trick, sealed with a coolly taken Panenka-style penalty sending the goalkeeper the wrong way, as Lyon cruised to a 5-0 win at Troyes.

The Netherlands forward earned the penalty in the 70th minute, running onto a fine pass from striker Mariano Diaz, drawing a defender and hitting a shot that defender Christophe Herelle blocked with his arm.

Herelle was shown the red card and Depay - the designated penalty taker - then argued with Diaz, who wanted to take it.

Depay scored his first to make it 2-0 four minutes into the second half, with a neat finish after a cross from the left, after Bertrand Traore turned in a cross from Brazilian left back Marcal in the 21st minute to open the scoring.


Depay netted his second midway through the second half, curling the ball into the right corner following a fine run from Diaz, who got Lyon's fifth near the end with a neat finish as Lyon moved up to fourth place.

'People expect a lot from me,' said Depay, who has five league goals this season. 'I have to find my way in the team.'
