Crisis blown to smithereens – Greenwood is the spark which keeps Marseille on fire

The international break did wonders for Olympique Marseille, who arrived fresh and inspired in Montpellier, where they dominated the struggling bottom-placed team at La Mosson — 5-0 (3-0).This especially applied to the team’s standout player, Mason Greenwood, who ended a four-match run without a decisive impact, shining tonight with a goal and an assist in Montpellier.Tonight, Greenwood reached the milestone of five goals scored, along with two assists. The only player more effective than him in the French league is Bradley Barcola, who has found the net seven times.##NAJAVA_MECA_8424491##The home side’s collapse began right from the first minute, with a goal from former Montpellier player Elye Wahi, assisted by Jonathan Rowe. The match was essentially decided by the end of the first half when Amine Harit and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg struck within just four minutes, sealing the win for the visitors.The starring cast 🔥⚡️Greenwood ⚽️🅰️Wahi ⚽️🅰️Harit ⚽️Hojbjerg ⚽️L Henrique ⚽️Rowe 🅰️Garcia 🅰️Murillo 🅰️+ the clean sheet for Rulli and the defence! 😍⛔️#MHSCOM | 0⃣ – 5⃣ | ⚪️🔵 pic.twitter.com/OIzfC0SSSL— Olympique de Marseille 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 (@OM_English) October 20, 2024 The third goal highlighted how valuable Mason Greenwood is to this team. Unselfishly, he delivered a well-timed pass from the right to the Danish midfielder, who slotted the ball into the bottom right corner. It was Højbjerg’s first goal of the season, while Greenwood’s selflessness was rewarded in the 58th minute, as he received a precise pass from Wahi and, after a bicycle kick, powered the ball into the far corner, leaving Benjamin Lecomte helpless.Le but le plus rapide de la saison en Ligue 1, c’est signé Elye Wahi. ⚡️💙🤍 pic.twitter.com/UHEN66moYh— Actu Foot (@ActuFoot_) October 20, 2024 Luis Henrique put the finishing touch on the visitors’ triumphant evening in the 73rd minute, capitalizing on a deflected ball and slotting it past the home team’s keeper.Young Serbian player Stefan Džodić was on the pitch for only nine minutes.
