Marseille, the defending Ligue 1 champions, have taken another step towards securing their place in next season's UEFA Champions League with a comfortable win over Strasbourg on Saturday.
The match was played at the Stade Velodrome, where Marseille were dominant throughout. The visitors took the lead after just three minutes through Dimitri Payet, who scored his first goal for the club since joining from West Ham United earlier this summer.
Strasbourg struggled to find any consistency in their play as they fell further behind in the second half, with Moussa Diaby's late strike sealing the points for Marseille.
It was a much-needed win for Marseille, who had been struggling to maintain their form in recent weeks. The result will be welcomed by fans who have seen their side struggle to live up to expectations this season.
Despite the victory, Marseille will need to improve if they want to challenge for honours again next year. However, Payet and Guendouzi's performances suggest that the club has a bright future ahead of them.
