"Marseille took a deserved lead when Benjamin Pavard headed Greenwood's corner goal-bound, and Aubameyang was on hand to flick the ball beyond the bodies on the line and into the back of the net. Greenwood scored his first just after the half-hour mark, with his strike wrong-footing Yehvann Diouf in the Nice goal, but followed it up with an even better goal after the break as he dribbled through the opposition defence before firing past the goalkeeper from the edge of the box."
"Greenwood's double came after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opened the scoring on 11 minutes, while Timothy Weah and Igor Paixao also got on the scoresheet to move Marseille above Paris Saint-Germain in the standings, with the Parisiens facing Le Havre on Saturday. Greenwood had a brilliant chance to score a third late on, dribbling into the box before looking to place the ball into the bottom-left corner, but Diouf did well to get down quickly and deny the forward, though the damage was already done."
Marseille delivered a dominant 5-1 victory over Nice at Allianz Riviera, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opening the scoring and Mason Greenwood netting a brace. Benjamin Pavard's header from a Greenwood corner created Aubameyang's opener. Greenwood struck just after the half-hour mark and added a second after the break by dribbling through the defence and finishing from the edge of the box. Aubameyang assisted Timothy Weah and Igor Paixao in the second half as Mohamed-Ali Cho scored Nice's goal. Marseille produced 2.87 expected goals from 11 shots on target versus Nice's 1.2 from seven attempts. Greenwood now has ten Ligue 1 goals this season.
