After returning to victory in Montpellier (5-0), the Marseillais were already thinking about next Sunday’s shock against the Parisian leader.
After recording its first defeat of the season at Strasbourg (0-1), before following up with a pitiful draw against the then bottom red, Angers (1-1), OM returned to success at Montpellier on Sunday evening, at the end of the 8th day of Ligue 1. The Phocéens won by a large margin at the new bottom (5-0), thanks to an opening score from Elye Wahi (1st), who finally found the path to the goal, and achievements from Amine Harit (36th), Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (40th), Mason Greenwood (58th) and Luis Henrique (73rd). A success which allows them to consolidate third place, three lengths behind the Parisian leader and his Monegasque runner-up. Ideal before welcoming PSG next Sunday, during a “Classic” mentioned by the Marseillais and their coach at the end of the meeting.
