Lorient were dealt a major blow early in the match when Darlin Yongwa was dismissed for his challenge on Michael Amir Murillo inside the box. Greenwood broke the deadlock from the resulting penalty to score his second league goal of the season. مرسيليا soon doubled the lead in the 20th minute when new signing Benjamin Pavard scored from Greenwood’s assist.
After a stellar debut campaign in فرنسا last season, where he ended up being the joint-highest goal-scorer in الدوري الفرنسي 1, alongside Ousmane Dembele, the former متحد player has started the new season on a strong note. He also scored and provided two assists in Marseille’s second league game against نادي باريس لكرة القدم.
With their second win in four matches, Robert De Zerbi’s Marseille climbed up to fourth position in the league table with six points to their name. They have, however, already suffered two defeats already, most recently against ليون.
Greenwood and Marseille will be back in action on September 16 as they kick off their دوري أبطال أوروبا journey against European giants ريال مدريد, away from home. The attacker returns to Madrid, where he played for خيتافي على سبيل الإعارة.
