‘It’s a satisfying match’ – Cornet and Cherki revel in Lyon’s decimation of Sochaux

Maxwel Cornet and Rayan Cherki are pleased with Olympique Lyon’s 5-2 obliteration of Sochaux in Saturday’s French Cup Round of 32 encounter.

French youth international of Algerian descent Cherki bagged a brace, while his compatriot Djameleddine Benlamri, the Cote d’Ivoire international and Jason Denayer completed the rout at the Groupama Stadium.

The visiting Lions Cubs did not go down without a fight, albeit, Chris Bedia’s double could not help their cause against the French elite division outfit.

In his post-match assessment, Cornet described the result against Omar Daf’s men as "satisfying" while assuring that his team would correct their defensive mistakes – having leaked in goals too easily.
