📸 OM v Lorient: Controversial red card mars Marseille win | OneFootball

This fourth day of Ligue 1 started with a refereeing dispute and the resounding goal of a comeback.

From the tenth minute of the Marseille-Lorient match at the Vélodrome (final score 4-0), the Marseille defender Murillo won a penalty, which Mason Greenwood converted without flinching (1-0).

Where the problem lies: the referee applied a double penalty that seems outdated. In addition to the conceded penalty, the Lorient defender Darlin Yongwa received a direct red card. The silence of the VAR is puzzling.

The Refereeing Directorate will undoubtedly have to rule on this decision by the whistle-blower, Thomas Léonard, in the coming days.

About ten minutes after this controversial refereeing decision, the last-minute summer recruit, Benjamin Pavard, planted a header synonymous with 2-0 (20th). A way to celebrate his debut in his new colors, in front of his new audience.

In your opinion, did the Merlus deserve this double penalty in the tenth minute of play?
