It seems that Olympique Marseille like away games better! Last week, they unexpectedly drew against Reims at Stade Velodrome. However, they are “two for two” when it comes to away games – first, they thrashed Brest 5-1, and last night, they did the same to Toulouse 3-1! Enough for the Ligue 1 top spot!This was also the third consecutive game in which Mason Greenwood scored. Last night, just like at his debut, he scored a brace, making him the Ligue 1 leading scorer with five goals in total. The talented Englishman scored twice in about 60 seconds and practically secured three points for his team. Once Toulouse’s Frank Magri was sent off in the 27th minute, everything was over for the home crew.Luis Henrique assisted for both of Greenwood’s goals and was the most deserving of Marseille’s third since the ball deflected off Charlie Cresswell after the Brazilian’s strike. It was officially an own goal, but Henrique did most of the work.Marseille change their emblem on the club’s 125th birthdayAfterwards, Roberto De Zerbi subbed off some of the key players to rest them, and Toulouse seized the opportunity and somewhat Marseille’s complacency, scoring in the 90th minute through the Gabonese Shavy Babicka. After the international break, De Zerbi’s crew will have two very challenging away games – against Olympique Lyon and Strasbourg.
