Nazi salutes earns Lyon fan a lifeban

Lyon’s victory over Manchester City was overshadowed by video footage of a fan performing a Nazi salute that spread online following the Group F opener at the Etihad Stadium.

Ligue 1 outfit Lyon did not specify the incident in a statement but said they were responding to a ‘video circulating on social networks’.

‘Once the fan is identified, they will be barred from home matches at Groupama Stadium and stopped from travelling for games’, Lyon confirmed.

Lyon, who have won two of their opening five Ligue 1 fixtures, host Marseille on Sunday.
