Mason Greenwood Scores Four Goals for Marseille, Equalling English Ligue 1 Record

Mason Greenwood delivered a historic four-goal performance for Marseille in their 6-2 victory over Le Havre, propelling the club to the top of Ligue 1. His feat matched Glenn Hoddle's record as the French top flight's most prolific Englishman and made him the first Marseille player since Jean-Pierre Papin in 1991 to score four goals in a single Ligue 1 match. Despite the impressive goal tally, Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi acknowledged Greenwood's potential for further improvement, particularly in contributing more to the team's overall play. Greenwood's display earned widespread acclaim from European media, with Spanish and French outlets praising his near-perfect performance and the standing ovation he received upon leaving the pitch. His scoring helped Marseille capitalize on rivals’ slip-ups, including Paris Saint-Germain's dropped points, to take top league position. Greenwood, who joined Marseille in 2024 after legal issues and a loan spell, has quickly become a key figure and cult hero at the club.
