Alexandre Lacazette scored twice from the penalty spot as Lyon beat Caen 2-0 in Ligue 1 on Friday.
The striker's first penalty came in the 31st minute and he netted again from 12 yards in the fifth minute of added time after an occasionally nervy second half for Lyon at the Parc OL.
The goals gave last season's Ligue 1 runners-up six points from a possible six after Lacazette's hat-trick secured a 3-0 win away at promoted Nancy on the opening weekend.
Lacazette, who scored 48 league goals in the last two seasons, has been linked with big-money moves to Premier League sides Arsenal and West Ham United this summer, but Lyon coach Bruno Genesio has insisted he is going nowhere.
The 25-year-old, not part of the France squad at Euro 2016, has indicated he wants to play Champions League football, and his current club will feature in next week's draw for the group stage of that competition.
"Alexandre Lacazette is carrying on from where he left off in the second half of last season," said Genesio.
"He is in good shape physically and mentally and is scoring goals but also playing a big part for the team on the whole."
