Probe launched into Lyon's 7-1 win against Dinamo Zagreb

The French gaming authority (ARJEL) have launched a probe into Lyon’s 7-1 win away to Dinamo Zagreb that took the French side into the last 16 of the Champions League at the expense of Ajax.

After trailing 1-0 Lyon hit back with four goals between the 45^th and 52^nd minutes with the remaining three goals coming between the 64^th and 75^th minutes.

The thoughts of English referee Mark Clattenburg and the other five English officials will clearly be in demand.

Going into the match Lyon trailed Ajax by three points and seven goals.

A draw for Ajax at home to Real Madrid would have taken the Dutch side through but as they were losing 3-0 at home to Real Lyon were coming back from the dead in Zagreb.

Ajax had two goals disallowed during the match with coach Frank de Boer angry at the events of the night.

The former Rangers defender said: “If there was something unusual, Uefa should investigate what happened in Zagreb. My assistants have told me that the goals came quick and easy, because you can’t normally score these goals in half an hour.

“But destiny was in our own hands and we had chances to qualify because our game was very even. I will have to see video replays (of the disallowed goals).”

Dinamo Zagreb failed to pick up a single point in their six group matches but had only lost 15 goals before the roof fell in last night.

Uefa are bound to be in touch with the French gaming authorities to ensure the integrity of their blue chip competition.
