On Sunday night, Arsenal were left to rue missed chances as Lyon secured their place in the Europa League with a 4-2 win at the Emirates Stadium.
In front of a crowd of over 67,000, Lyon's talented young forward Alexandre Lacazette scored a brace and provided two assists, while also scoring twice more from the bench.
The Frenchman, who has been linked with a move away from the club this summer, was instrumental in Lyon's qualification for Europe's premier club competition.
His first goal came after just six minutes when he found the back of the net with a powerful header from a corner kick.
He then doubled Lyon's lead five minutes later by slotting home a penalty following a handball from the Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal.
With the score at 2-0, Lacazette made his second appearance of the game on the hour mark, but it wasn't long before he had his second goal of the match.
A brilliant strike from 25 yards out sent the Gunners fans into delirium as they watched him power past the goalkeeper and send the ball flying over the bar.
But despite Lacazette's impressive display, Arsenal failed to capitalise on their opportunities and eventually lost 4-2.
It was a bitter defeat for the Gunners, who will now have to look to their Europa League group stage opponents for inspiration ahead of the next round.
However, Lyon's victory is sure to boost their confidence going into the final stages of the tournament.
As Lacazette proved once again that he is one of the most dangerous forwards in European football, and that his talent and ability to provide assists will be a huge asset for Lyon in their quest for success.
