Malcom won Bordeaux a penalty on Sunday

Malcom was at the centre of a penalty controversy as 10-man Bordeaux stunned high-flying Lyon 3-1 on Sunday to give new coach Gustavo Poyet a winning start in Ligue 1.

Brazilian winger Malcom, who has been linked with Arsenal and Tottenham, appeared to dive to win the 27th-minute penalty he then scored to give Bordeaux a shock 2-0 lead.

Poyet had already seen Nicolas De Preville put the home side in front in south-western France, with Gaetan Laborde scoring another penalty for the hosts in first-half stoppage time three minutes after Marcelo had pulled one back for Lyon.

Bordeaux had another Brazilian, Otavio, sent off after the break but they held on to make it two wins from two games since previous coach Jocelyn Gourvennec was sacked and move into the top half.

The result was a big blow to Lyon, who had beaten Paris Saint-Germain at home last weekend and then won at Monaco in the French Cup on Wednesday.
