Aubameyang Brace Seals Marseille’s 3-2 Comeback Over Lyon

The comeback delivers Habib Beye's first win in charge, trimming the gap to Lyon to two points in the fight for an automatic Champions League place.

Overview

  • Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored in the 81st minute and again in stoppage time, turning in Ethan Nwaneri's cross for the winner.
  • Corentin Tolisso struck early for Lyon, Igor Paixao equalised with a curling effort after halftime, and teenager Remi Himbert briefly restored Lyon’s lead on 76 minutes.
  • The result ends Marseille’s four-game winless run and marks their first victory since Beye replaced Roberto De Zerbi last month.
  • Marseille move within two points of third-place Lyon, with only the top three securing direct entry to next season’s Champions League.
  • Lyon coach Paulo Fonseca criticised a disallowed Tolisso goal for offside and said "the better team lost," having recently returned from a nine-month domestic ban.
