European wrap: Jake O'Brien caps memorable week with Lyon winner
Jake O'Brien celebrated his first senior call-up to the Republic of Ireland squad by getting scoring the winner in Lyon’s 3-2 victory over Toulouse in Ligue 1.
The Cork native was included in John O'Shea's squad for the upcoming friendlies against Belgium and Switzerland and completed a memorable week by sealing his side’s spirited fight back.
Lyon led through Alexandre Lacazette's 34th-minute goal, but Thijs Dallinga equalised early in the second half before Vincent Sierro's penalty put the hosts in front.
Rayan Cherki then tied things back up in the 78th minute before the former Cork City player won it eight minutes from time by heading home from a corner.
Lois Openda scored twice in the space of five minutes as RB Leipzig turned on the style in the second half to thrash Cologne 5-1 and move up to fourth in the Bundesliga.
Leipzig opened the scoring through Xavi Simons 15 minutes in but Sargis Adamyan equalised almost immediately and the scores were level at the break.
But Openda then struck in the 63rd and 67th minutes before Amadou Haidara and Yussuf Poulsen padded the score for the visitors.
Leipzig move two points above Borussia Dortmund, who take on Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.
In La Liga, goals in either half from Mikel Merino and Arsen Zakharyan saw sixth-placed Real Sociedad ease to a 2-0 win over relegation-threatened Cadiz.
Substitute Giovanni Fabbian struck in the last minute as Bologna snatched a 1-0 win away to Empoli, consolidating their hold on fourth place in Serie A as they opened up a six-point advantage over Roma who host Sassuolo on Sunday.
