Lyon 3-2 Crystal Palace: Eagles suffer Europa League defeat despite spirited second-half comeback
Story updated
The story in brief
31-second readCrystal Palace suffered their first Europa League defeat of the season after falling 3-2 to Lyon on Thursday, despite an improved second-half performance in France.
Goals from Corentin Tolisso, Ernest Nuamah and Pavel Sulc secured victory for the hosts, while Yeremy Pino and Daichi Kamada replied for Palace. The result marked a disappointing return to Lyon for Palace manager Pierre Sage, who previously coached the French club between November 2023 and January 2025.
Palace entered their first-ever away Europa League fixture hoping to build on their convincing 4-0 opening victory over Lech Poznan. However, they made a disastrous start, conceding after just eight minutes when Tolisso reacted quickest to a loose ball following Nuamah’s corner.
