Memphis Depay was once again key for Lyon. Not long after Ronald Koeman, the Barcelona coach, announced that the club will try and sign him in January, the striker was at his best in the Ligue 1 encounter with Strasbourg. He assisted in all three goals.
He had gone three straight games without scoring or assisting and so this performance will boost his confidence. It is proof to the fans that he is still focussed at Lyon despite Barca's interest.
He played in Kadewere and Toko Ekambi twice. They were those who found the target in the league clash. The Dutchman's assists were vital because the result was 2-3. Had it not been for him, Lyon may well have not won the game.
Depay's performance will make Barca fans envious. They know the board want the player and the lose to Getafe showed they lack fire power up front. Memphis could be the solution to their problems.
