Greenwood strikes late as Marseille see off Monaco after VAR twist | OneFootball

Marseille beat Monaco 1-0 at the Vélodrome on Sunday, Mason Greenwood striking late after a VAR overturn, as the visitors slip from eighth to ninth in Ligue 1.

In the 80th minute a Folarin Balogun finish was ruled out after a VAR review for offside. Two minutes later, Greenwood lashed in the winner from the centre of the box (82.), set up by Pierre-Emile Højbjerg. The forward is now on 11 Ligue 1 goals, leading the division's scoring chart.

Gerónimo Rulli made five saves as Les Olympiens stayed compact and cleared their lines under pressure.

After a double change in the 58th minute, Les Olympiens carried more punch down the left, with Igor Paixão drawing a low stop from Lukas Hradecky (59.) following Matt O'Riley's flicked header.

Les Rouge et Blanc were frequently caught beyond the line, flagged offside six times as they chased parity late on.

Les Olympiens registered eight shots on target from 18 attempts and finished with 57.6% possession. Les Rouge et Blanc posted seven shots on target from 18 attempts.
