4 minutes after his arrival, Wilfried Zaha shines with OL in the Europa League

Ivorian striker Wilfried Zaha played his first minutes in OL colors this Thursday in the Europa League. Coming into play in the 67th minute against the Greeks of Olympiacos, the player on loan from Galatasaray did not take long to shine with an offering for the Lyonnais' break goal.

Arriving in France at the very end of the summer transfer window, Wilfried Zaha finally played. Despite a good pre-season with his Turkish club, the Ivorian player, whom the French media announced lacked will in training, had not played a single minute since his arrival. While rumors were reporting his unhappiness in France, Jean-Pierre Sage, the OL coach, finally gave the 31-year-old player minutes of play.

Called up for the first day of the Europa League, Wilfried Zaha entered when the score had barely changed for his team. Coming into play in the 67th minute, just after Rayan Cherki's opener, the Ivorian star stood out in the 71st minute. On a well-executed counter-attack, the former Crystal Palace player gave himself an assist with a beautiful deep pass for Said Benrahma, who entered at the same time as him.

In four minutes of play, Zaha marks his Lyon epic. It remains to be seen whether his performance, generally acceptable, will push the OL coach to include him in his starting lineup so that he has more playing time. Remember that Lyon won 2-0 in this match and launches his European adventure perfectly.
