Ernest Nuamah scores twice as Lyon beat Rennes
Nuamah scored twice in the 4-0 drubbing of Rennes as his side moved to second position on the league table.
Ghanaian forward Ernest Nuamah showcased his talent for Olympique Lyon, as they maintained their undefeated start to the 2026/27 Ligue 1 season. Nuamah netted two goals in Lyon's 4-0 crushing victory over Rennes, which propelled them to second place in the league standings. He rejoined the starting lineup following his absence from the Europa League match against Anderlecht.
The forward immediately made an impact, scoring the opening goal just seven minutes into the match after being set up by team captain Corentin Tolisso. Unfortunately, Nuamah missed a chance to score his second goal 11 minutes later when he shot directly at Brice Samba, who managed to clear the ball for a corner. Ten minutes after his miss, Nuamah added a second goal for Lyon, this time assisted by Pavel Sulc, making it 2-0.
Zachary Athekame scored the third goal after the break, while Tolisso sealed the match with a fourth goal for Lyon. Through his two goals against Rennes, Nuamah has been directly involved in four goals in four league games this season, scoring three and providing one assist.
