Crédit Agricole PCA Aiglon of the match: Lemina bosses it
Mario Lemina (21% of the vote) is your Crédit Agricole PCA Aiglon of the Match from the win against Saint-Etienne. At the heart of the 3-0 victory, his efforts brought him in just ahead of Andy Delort and Calvin Stengs, who both scored.
His absence was felt at Lorient when he was suspended, but Mario Lemina's return got Le Gym back to winning ways at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. Forming an effective pairing with Khephren Thuram, the defensive midfielder's reading of the game and industry were crucial.
There are stand-out statistics to back up the perception of his performance: Lemina made three interceptions and recovered possession no fewer than 13 times, the most of any player on the pitch, well ahead of another Niçois, Youcef Atal (9). Going forward, he joined Melvin Bard with the most passes attempted (36), and he completed the most (26).
Just behind Lemina comes Delort, who scored his second goal for the club (and has two assists to boot).
Mobile and physical, he was a significant threat to the home backline and capped his display with a deserved goal seven minutes from time after a sublime pass from Lucas Da Cunha.
Calvin Stengs completes the podium after also finding the net, the Dutch international scoring his first goal for the club early in the second half (54').
Sent clear by Thuram, he beat Stefan Bajic with a measured left-foot shot.
