Mason Greenwood bags another goal in Marseille's 'incredible' win over Lyon as ex-Man Utd forward stays in touch with Ousmane Dembele in Golden Boot race

The former Manchester United winger netted Marseille’s first of the night as they recovered from going a goal down to prevail 3-2 in a five-goal thriller at Stade Velodrome. Luis Henrique grabbed the winner for the hosts five minutes from time.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side displayed commendable battling qualities in order to claim all three points, with Greenwood once again leading from the front as he registered his 13th Ligue 1 goal of the season – leaving him just one adrift of Paris Saint-Germain superstar Ousmane Dembele in the top-scorer charts.

Greenwood told DAZN afterwards, as Marseille delivered the perfect response to their disappointing 2-0 defeat at Nice last time out: “We all stayed together, we worked hard all week. We had to react after Nice. We managed to win this match. It was incredible tonight.”

The 23-year-old added on Marseille doing enough to drag themselves over the line and pick up their 12th league victory of the season: “The match opened up in the second half, we created a lot of chances. Pierre (Emile Hojbjerg), Adrien (Rabiot}... We all played a very good match.”

Despite adding another win to their tally and sitting second in the Ligue 1 table, Marseille find themselves 10 points adrift of unbeaten leaders PSG. While the title may be slipping out of reach, they are well on course to secure Champions League qualification for 2025-26.
