NEW signing Yoann Gourcuff made an unhappy debut when Olympique Lyon slumped to a 0-2 defeat at Lorient in French Ligue 1 on Saturday.
Elsewhere, leader Toulouse made it four wins in four games as midfielders Etienne Capoue and Franck Tabanou earned a 2-0 victory at Nancy and Dimitri Payet scored a hat-trick as Saint-Etienne beat Racing Lens 3-1.
Ten-man Caen suffered its first defeat of the season when it lost 0-2 at home to fellow promoted side Stade Brest. Caen, which had midfielder Sambou Yatabare sent off early in the game, stayed on seven points, three more than Brest.
France playmaker Gourcuff, whose father Christian is Lorient's coach, came on as a first-half substitute with Lyon already 0-1 down thanks to a Kevin Gameiro penalty.
Lynel Kitambala then sealed Lorient's win after the break.
Lyon, which signed Gourcuff from Girondins Bordeaux last week, has four points from four games, the same as Lorient. "We lacked confidence after conceding an early goal. We played better after the break, we had chances and it's a pity we could not find the back of the net," Gourcuff junior told Foot Plus TV channel.
Gourcuff looked on from the bench as Lyon conceded an early goal after a hand-ball by center back Jeremy Toulalan. Lyon lacked flair and failed to create a clear chance until Gourcuff came on for the injured Cesar Delgado on the half hour.
Kitambala made it 2-0 for the hosts with a powerful left-footed shot from inside the box in the 66th minute.
