Decisive figure drives Marseille as late strike crowns dominant display | OneFootball

Pierre-Emile Højbjerg settled it in the sixth minute of second half stoppage time with a right-footed strike from outside the box, as Marseille beat Strasbourg 4-0.

Højbjerg set the tone from midfield early on. He shot from distance in the 31st minute. Moments later, he pulled another effort off target (41.).

After the restart he drew a foul high up the pitch (57.). After a VAR review, Samir El Mourabet was sent off (59.), leaving Le Racing down to ten.

The Dane's control never dipped. He completed 81 of 89 passes, logged 107 touches and made 21 successful final third passes. He also registered three interceptions and won possession four times, plus three attempts from outside the box.

Les Olympiens' 66.7% possession flowed through him, with his positioning between the lines keeping Strasbourg penned in until the late clincher.

Les Phocéens visit Monaco next. Le Racing host Lens.
