It means their winless streak now stretches to five matches leaving the travelling fans furious in the stands.

Former Manchester United flop Depay bagged his side's third of the match but it didn't seem to make the fans any happier at the full-time whistle.

According to L'Equipe, the 23-year-old threw his shirt in the crowd but ended up getting it thrown back in his face.

Depay has suffered a dramatic dip in form this campaign which has seen him dropped from the side on two occasions.

Like his time at United, he has keen criticised for his lack of work-rate especially defensively.

He started 12 matches last season for Lyon following his switch from Man United scoring five and assisting seven.
