Hello, does anyone know why Lichess decided that this game is a draw ?
Draw by repetition. From the FAQ:
Threefold repetition
If a position occurs three times, players can claim a draw by threefold repetition. Lichess implements the official FIDE rules, as described in Article 9.2 (d) of the handbook (PDF).
We did not repeat moves. Why was the game still drawn by repetition?
Threefold repetition is about repeated positions, not moves. Repetition does not have to occur consecutively.

Yes, that's right. 3 times repetition of the same position.
Some people confuse the "same position" with "same move". It is not the same.
