On the move to Toulouse, Mason Grenwood and his OM team made a strong impression with a convincing 3-1 victory.
The draw conceded at home against Reims (2-2) last week was ultimately just a minor blip for OM. This Sunday, at the Stadium de Toulouse, the Marseille team got back into their stride and gleaned a victory that was as large as it was significant (3-1).
Greenwood quickly wrapped up the match
A thunderous victory that essentially bears the signature of its new providential man, in the person of Mason Greenwood. Already the author of three goals in the first two days, the English winger added two more pawns to his statistics sheet. And he did it in the space of just two minutes (16e and 17e).
The former Mancunian can thank Luis Henrique, who served him ideally each time. On the first offering, he unleashed an unstoppable pivot shot that totally surprised the Toulouse goalkeeper. And on the second, he had the time needed to arm a left-footed shot, which found the small inside netting.

Conceding two goals so quickly in the match, Téfécé could hardly recover. And to top it all off, the local team found itself down to a man in the 27th minutee minute following an act deemed violent by Frank Magri. Ms. Frappart was a little harsh on this occasion, but it is difficult to cry scandal.
Rulli, OM’s only false note
Taking advantage of their numerical advantage, OM logically increased the score in the second half. With Greenwood once again involved in the action. The Englishman brought the ball up with Wahi before putting it back to Harit, who served Luis Henrique on a plate. The Brazilian then finished with a nice strike. It was a third goal for Marseille, but there was no clean sheet for the Olympians. The fault lies with Geronimo Rulli, who missed a save in the 90th minutee and which was beneficial to Shavy Babicka.
With this stroll in Toulouse, Marseille finds itself provisionally leader of the championship while waiting for Sunday’s matches. Even if it is anecdotal at this stage of the season, its supporters have reason to savor this situation. The international break that is coming will be very appreciable on the Canebière side.
