Two-goal hero Kadewere reacts after guiding Lyon to Rhone-Alpes derby triumph

Tino Kadewere has expressed his excitement after scoring a brace which completed Lyon’s 2-1 comeback win over Saint-Etienne in Sunday’s Rhone-Alpes derby.

The 24-year-old forward came off the bench to replace Moussa Dembele in the 57th minute and he inspired Rudi Garcia's side to victory despite trailing by a goal at half-time.

Anthony Lopes' own goal in the 40th minute gave Saint-Etienne the lead at the Groupama Stadium but Kadewere's goals in the 65th and 74th minutes turned the game around and secured all three points for the hosts.
