Decisive figure lifts Marseille in statement win at Angers | OneFootball

Mason Greenwood struck in the 24th minute with a composed finish, setting Marseille on their way to a 5-2 victory at Angers. He is now on 12 league goals, first in Ligue 1 scoring.

He timed his run onto Emerson's pass and converted from inside the area (24.), a clean, early intervention that put Les Olympiens in control.

Before the interval he drew a save from Herve Koffi, then after the restart he rattled the crossbar (53.) as he continued to carry the visitors' threat.

He finished with four attempts, two on target, and completed 32 of 34 passes, including eight successful balls in the final third, evidence of how he linked attacks before being withdrawn (62.).

With Les Phocéens enjoying 66.0% possession, Greenwood's tidy combinations and constant availability kept Angers pinned back and ensured the visitors dictated territory and tempo.

Les Olympiens remain third on 35 points and host Liverpool in the Champions League next. Angers face Paris FC next.
