"Having been played in by Endrick, Corentin Tolisso struck inside the third minute for Lyon, and the midfielder thought he had doubled the visitors' lead early in the second half, only to be denied by the offside flag. Marseille made that fortune count two minutes later, with Igor Paixao cutting in from the right and unleashing a curling effort that Dominik Greif could only help into the top corner."
"With nine minutes of normal time remaining, however, Paixao's cross was met on the volley by veteran campaigner Aubameyang, who steered a fine finish home. And in the first minute of stoppage time, Aubameyang was on hand to turn in from Ethan Nwaneri's low centre, sending the home fans at Stade Velodrome into raptures."
"Lens' 1-1 draw at Strasbourg on Friday opened the door for Lyon to move to within five points of second place, but Paulo Fonseca's team could not take their chance, despite twice going ahead. Instead, Aubameyang was the hero for Marseille, who claimed their first Ligue 1 win under new boss Habib Beye."
Marseille achieved a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over Lyon in the Choc des Olympiques. Lyon took an early lead through Corentin Tolisso in the third minute and extended their advantage to 2-1 with a goal from Remi Himbert in the 76th minute. Marseille equalized through Igor Paixao's curling effort in the second half. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang proved decisive for Marseille, scoring the equalizer with a volley in the 81st minute and completing the comeback with a stoppage-time finish from Ethan Nwaneri's cross. This victory marked Marseille's first Ligue 1 win under new manager Habib Beye.
