Ligue 1 Week 34: Monaco - Marseille

Nasri 0-1



Ignacio 1-1



Taiwo 1-2



Leko 2-2



Cisse 2-3




Marseille with 3 points from Monaco

OM moved two points ahead of Nancy in the search for the last Champions League spot after a fine win over gutsy Monaco...

ASM twice battled from a goal down to equalise against the visitors, but in the end Marseille did enough to secure all three points.

OM deservedly took the lead 28 minutes in through Samir Nasri, who got on the end of Kaboré's excellent long ball before rolling a trundler past Roma.

Monaco offered little going forward in that first half, but as the second began they managed to take advantage of a defensive lapse. Gonzalez fired home from the middle of the box after Nenê tipped a corner in his direction.

On the hour mark, though, Marseille regained their lead when Taiwo bundled the ball through a crowded box after a corner for his side.

The action wasn't over yet. Nenê's free-kick was not well dealt with by Mandanda, allowing Leko to think quickly and shoot home after receiving a lucky rebound.

But Marseille were the stronger side, and it wasn't a huge surprise when Djibril Cissé sealed all three points with just seven minutes to go after being teed up by Mamadou Niang.
