Marseille Triumphs Over Lyon in Rescheduled Match
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Shines in 3-0 Victory Amid Season Struggles for Both Clubs
- Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored one goal and provided two assists as Marseille secured a third straight win in all competitions with a 3-0 defeat of last-place Lyon in Ligue 1.
- The match was a rescheduled game that had been postponed due to a violent attack on the Lyon team bus by fans in October.
- Lyon fans were not allowed to travel to the rescheduled game, which took place in a fervent but peaceful atmosphere.
- Both Marseille and Lyon, two traditionally successful French clubs, have struggled this season. The win moved Marseille to eighth place in the standings, 13 points behind leader Paris Saint-Germain. Lyon is bottom of the league with just one win and nine losses in 14 matches.
- After a mediocre start since joining this summer, Aubameyang has found a new lease of life. He scored a hat trick against Ajax last week in Europa League and had one goal against Rennes over the weekend.
