Serious, efficient and very superior to its opponent tonight, Olympique de Marseille temporarily regained the lead in Ligue 1 with an easy win at Nice (5-1), Friday 21 November, to calmly prepare for the very important reception of Newcastle on Tuesday in the Champions League.

Supported by two goals from Mason Greenwood (33, 53) and goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (11), Thimothy Weah (58) and Igor Paixao (74), OM took advantage of the generosity of the Nice team who reduced the score through Mohamed Ali Cho’s header (63).

Therefore, the Marseillais team leaves the Côte d’Azur with first place on the podium, with 28 points, which can only be surpassed by PSG, if it is successful on Saturday evening against Le Havre. In contrast, for Nice, things didn’t get any better. Ninth before another match on this 13th day, the Aiglons are fresh from three consecutive defeats in the championship and very often looked helpless on Friday.
