OM continues. Roberto de Zerbi's players scored a third success in a row in Ligue 1, Sunday December 8, by beating AS Saint-Etienne (2-0) at home. With 69% possession and only 3 shots suffered, Marseille was never in danger.
Adrien Rabiot opened the scoring at the start of the match with a beautiful chest control-volley sequence (17th). This goal, his first under the Marseille colors, was first canceled, before being validated by the VAR. Behind, no burst of pride from Saint-Etienne. Marseille pressed and showed patience until the 2-0 goal, scored in the 65th minute by Mason Greenwood. The English winger, scorer of his 10th goal of the season in L1, converted in two stages a penalty that he himself obtained.
It was after the end of the match in the middle of fog, fueled by the release of smoke bombs, that the Phocaeans were able to celebrate this success, allowing them to keep pace with Monaco. Like ASM, OM have 29 points after 14 days and reduce their delay on PSG (held in check at Auxerre) to five points. For its part, Saint-Etienne remains 16th and first relegated.
