    Lyon secured their first win of the season with a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Ajaccio in the Premier League on Saturday night. The home side dominated from start to finish, with Antoine Griezmann scoring two crucial goals in the second half to seal the points.

    Griezmann's first goal came just before halftime when he scored from a corner kick, putting Lyon ahead for the first time. He then doubled his tally in the second half when he latched onto a loose ball and rifled it into the net from close range.

    Ajaccio, who had looked strong in the opening stages, struggled to keep up with Lyon's pace and pressing. Their defense was particularly weak, allowing Lyon to create multiple opportunities that they converted effectively.

    The match saw Lyon control possession throughout, creating numerous chances through their attacking midfielders. They were also able to break down Ajaccio's backline, leading to several counterattacks that ended in goals.

    This result is significant for Lyon, as it gives them a much-needed boost after their poor performance against Monaco earlier in the season. It also raises questions about the form of Ajaccio, who have been struggling in recent matches and face tough fixtures ahead.

    With this win, Lyon move up to 7th place in the table, while Ajaccio remain in 15th position. The league race continues to be closely contested, with several teams vying for the top spots.

    Antoine Griezmann's performance was impressive, showing why he is one of the most sought-after forwards in European football. His two goals were crucial in securing Lyon's victory and cementing their position at the top of the league table.
