Lyon: Alexandre Lacazette's joy at scoring a double in his final Ligue 1 match for Lyon evaporated when the club captain learned his house had been burgled during Saturday's 2-0 victory over Angers.

The former France international striker -- whose double took his total for the club to 201 in two spells and secured European football for them next term -- had 50,000 euros and luxury goods stolen from his home in Lyon, a police source told AFP.

The burglar alarm went off at 2130 local time (1930GMT) and three individuals were caught on camera gaining access to the premises via ventilation ducts.
However, it took another four hours for the facts to be discovered according to local newspaper Le Progres.

The police source told AFP that leather goods and a car key had been stolen, though, the vehicle had not been taken.

Lacazette, who turns 34 on May 28, scored his 201 goals in 391 matches -- either side of a five year stay with Arsenal -- and is second on the list of all-time scorers for Lyon behind Fleury Di Nallo, who garnered 222 in 494 games from 1960 to 1974.
