The English striker recovered the ball in the middle of the opposing half of the field and rushed towards the goal, foil of a defender and dodging another before driving the leather in the lower corner of the cages to bring the scoring to 2-0 in the 77th minute.
This goal is the 15th of the former Manchester United player in the French first division this season this season and place it secondly behind Ousmane Dembélé in the ranking of Ligue 1 scorers, the star of Paris Saint-Germain having marked 18 times.

Greenwood has now scored five goals in his last eight championship matches and was a crucial element for a team that occupies second place in the ranking, although it is 13 points from PSG.
Greenwood seeks to further improve his record when De Zerbi's team will face Lens in the championship next week.
