MARSEILLE TAKES LIGUE ONE TOP

English duo Angel Gomes and Mason Greenwood were on target as Marseille took over top spot in Ligue 1 from Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday with a 3-0 home win over Brest.

Gomes fired Marseille ahead after 25 minutes with a free-kick that squirmed through the hands of Brest goalkeeper Radoslaw Majecki.

Greenwood struck his eighth league goal this season from the penalty spot after Igor Paixao was fouled by defender Kenny Lala.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a late third as Marseille shook off their controversial midweek Champions League defeat by Atalanta to move a point clear of PSG in the French top flight.

"It's typical of Marseille. We played badly against Atalanta on Wednesday with almost the same team as today," said Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi.

"But today I think we played a very good match and I had a lot of fun on the bench."

"There's no reason right now for an OM player to be worried. We're top of the table with the best attack and 28 goals scored. I'd even like them to play with more courage and confidence," De Zerbi added

Lens are level with Marseille after a 4-1 win over 10-man Monaco, who had USA international Folarin Balogun sent off shortly after he had scored

Odsonne Edouard put Lens ahead in the principality but Balogun equalised with a penalty. Wesley Said restored the lead for Lens before Balogun saw red for a challenge on Mamadou Sangare

Sangare immediately clinched Lens' third on the stroke of half-time. Said scored again in the 60th minute. Ansu Fati missed a late penalty for Monaco to compound their misery as they slid to a second straight league defeat, falling five points behind the leading duo

Le Havre snatched a last-gasp equaliser to draw 1-1 with Nantes. An injury-hit PSG, managed by Luis Enrique, can move back to the top of the table on Sunday when they travel to face Lyon, but the reigning champions will be without the injured Ousmane Dembele, Achraf Hakimi, Desire Doue, and Nuno Mendes.
