Overview
- Marseille beat Toulouse 2-0 to record a fourth consecutive Ligue 1 victory on Sunday and move up to sixth place in the table.
- Coach Bruno Genesio publicly rebuked young players after a scare at Le Havre and has sent Keyliane Abdallah to the reserves as a corrective measure.
- Goalkeeper Jeffrey De Lange produced several key saves to preserve the clean sheet while Amine Harit opened the scoring and Amine Gouiri added a second goal, with Toulouse keeper Guillaume Restes criticised for two early errors that led to both goals.
- Paris FC continued their strong start by beating Monaco 3-1, with Lassine Sinayoko scoring twice and emerging as Ligue 1's top scorer, and Lyon returned to the top three with a 2-0 win over Angers.
- Marseille now sit six points off the European places and five points behind the leader, but Genesio warned the squad not to relax as they head to Leverkusen in the Europa League and prepare a league trip to Lens amid lingering concerns about squad depth and poor European form.
