WATCH: Miss Of The Season From Lyon's Mathieu Valbuena?

Lyon continued to lose ground on table topping Monaco following their 2-1 home defeat to Lille last night, but it could of been very different had Mathieu Valbuena equalised instead of blazing it over the bar from a few yards out.

Former Lyon striker Yassine Benzia put the visitors two ahead including a penalty conceded by none other than Valbuena, before Alexandre Lacazette reduced the deficit from the spot.

After producing heroics in Lyon's past games, the diminutive Frenchman notched up a contender for the miss of the season. Check it out below:

How? Just how?!

Lillie secured all three points as they climbed up to 11th while Lyon remain fourth, eleven points of the summit of the Ligue 1.

Lyon suffer their eighth league defeat. Meanwhile, former Manchester United winger Memphis Depay made his first start for his new club, though his full-debut didn't go down well.
