Ghana's Ernest Nuamah netted two goals as Lyon demolished Rennes 4-0, keeping their perfect start to the 2026/27 Ligue 1 campaign. The 24-year-old returned to the starting lineup following their Europa League win over Anderlecht and immediately made an impact. Nuamah opened the scoring just seven minutes in, capitalizing on a pass from captain Corentin Tolisso.
His second goal arrived 11 minutes later when Tolisso won the ball high up the pitch, finding Nuamah unmarked on the edge of the box. The Ghana international's third goal followed 10 minutes after the break, following a seamless pass from Pavel Šulc. Zachary Athekame extended the lead to 3-0 with a well-worked goal after the restart, before Tolisso completed the rout with his fourth goal of the season.
Nuamah has now been instrumental in four goals in four Ligue 1 matches this season, contributing both goals and an assist. His impressive form comes ahead of Ghana's opening matches in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, where he's been selected in Carlos Queiroz's 24-man squad for matches against Côte d’Ivoire and The Gambia.
