Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has likened Memphis Depay to Pele after yesterday's wonder goal.

The former Manchester United attacker struck from the halfway line in Lyon's victory over Toulouse.

Aulas enthused: "Once again, through what he showed, Memphis regaled us. He made an effort that Pele had missed, I do not remember what year. In any case, Bernard (Lacombe) did not fail to remind me.

"This is a sign of a very high class. He is the kind of player who makes the fans come to the stadium.

"Today, we are lucky to have exceptional home players and now foreign players of international level."
