Marseille’s New-Look Side Thumps 10-Man Lorient 4-0 as Pavard and Aguerd Score on Debut

The emphatic win offers a timely boost before a Champions League trip to Real Madrid followed by PSG’s visit.

Overview

  • Darlin Yongwa was sent off for fouling Michael Amir Murillo, and Mason Greenwood converted the 13th-minute penalty to start the rout.
  • Greenwood then delivered the corner that Benjamin Pavard headed in for 2-0 on 20 minutes in the defender’s first OM appearance.
  • Angel Gomes netted his first Marseille goal with a clean strike from the edge of the area before half-time.
  • Debutant Nayef Aguerd sealed the scoreline with a deflected finish deep in stoppage time as multiple new recruits featured.
  • Pavard and Aguerd were among seven debutants after a late transfer-window overhaul, and the victory is Marseille’s second in four league games, leaving them provisionally three points off PSG and Lyon.
