. It is a derby that will remain in the memories. After the disaster of Old Trafford, Olympique Lyonnais continued its nightmarish week by bowing on the ground of its great rival, AS Saint-Etienne (2-1), Sunday evening by closure of the 30e Ligue 1 day.
A derby marked by an incomprehensible arbitral decision. Author of a violent sole on the ankle of Corentin Tolisso, Lucas Stassin was initially excluded by the evening referee, François Letexier. But called by the Var, the latter finally deteriorated and only sanctioned the Stéphanois striker with a yellow.
Meanwhile, Corentin Tolisso, seriously affected in the ankle, went out on a stretcher (23e). After the meeting, François Letexier admitted to the Lyon midfielder that he had made a mistake. “”
The apologies of Mr. LETEXIER will lead neither pain nor misunderstanding “, So wrote Tolisso on his Instagram account.
“Letexier has become aware of what the whole country had already understood”
If he said to himself ” shocked “By this” manifest error “From François Letexier, John Textor also praised” A surprising moment of honor from the referee ». “” He admitted to our players that he had actually made a mistakesaid the Gones boss in the mixed zone. It should have been a red card. After reflection, he became aware of what the whole country had already understood. »»
For his part, Lucas Stassin, who should therefore have been excluded, was the man of the match. Author of a double, the 20 -year -old Belgian did not fail to apologize for his gesture with Corentin Tolisso.
“I was told him. This is not a gesture that I wanted to makehe assured. I didn't want to hurt him, it was not my intention. I wanted to recover the ball. »»
