FT Full Time AET After Extra Time LIVE This is a live match.ET Extra Time HT Half Time Europa League & Conference League LIVE! Sunderland, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Celtic and Bournemouth updates and scores "Not only are Sunderland behind to Portuguese minnows Torreense, but they embarrassingly lost their heads at the end of the first-half over refereeing decisions. A Premier League club shouldn't be imploding like that.
"How should Le Bris play this at half-time? Give them the hairdryer treatment, draw a line under it or bring on some his regular first-teamers to show their class instead? I'd be tempted for all three.
They've been abysmal." "A very tame half of football from Crystal Palace, who deservedly go in two goals down at the break. "A surprise given the resurgence they showed to beat Nottingham Forest on Sunday. "I thought the early goal might spark a similar reaction but they've been non-existent in the final third." Lyon take a healthy advantage into the break following Tolisso's opener and Nuamah's goal just before the break.
Palace have been on the back foot from the very start. The Eagles did not register a shot on target in the half and, in truth, didn't look like they would at any point. Sunderland have been dreadful, and a wondergoal from Torreense centre-back Volnei has the Portuguese second division side ahead.
The perfect time to score for the hosts and a disaster for Palace. Nakamura looks up after driving down the left before picking out the oncoming run of Nuamah in the box. He races onto it and calmly guides his effort into the back of the net to make it two for Lyon just before the break.

O'Nien is harshly punished this time and then a minor scuffle begins between a few players from each side. 45: **YELLOW!** Hume then immediately gives away a foul and sarcastically claps the referee which earns him a booking. "Torreense's dream start to their Europa League campaign continues.
