Marseille Tops Ligue 1 After Win at Strasbourg

Marseille snatched a 2-1 win at Strasbourg after Abdoul Ouattara put the hosts ahead, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang equalised and Michael Amir Murillo struck a stoppage-time winner. The victory sent OM to the top of Ligue 1 on goal difference and sustained Roberto De Zerbi’s momentum after the recent win over PSG, despite De Zerbi serving a suspension for the match. The result gives Marseille a timely boost ahead of their Champions League trip to Ajax. PSG’s defeat and a growing injury crisis — which has ruled captain Marquinhos out of their upcoming Champions League tie with Barcelona — has opened hopes of a tighter title race. Several clubs, including Monaco, PSG, Lyon and Strasbourg, sit level on points and are separated largely by goal difference as the league heads into Matchday 6.
