Match Report
Mason Greenwood scored four goals for Marseille as they beat Le Havre 6-2 to move to the top of Ligue 1.
Despite going a goal down after Yassine Kechta's 24th-minute strike, the game turned on its head when Gaultier Lloris was sent off for a handball in the box, with Greenwood dispatching the resulting penalty.
The 24-year-old then scored three goals in 10 second-half minutes after the hour mark before Robinio Vaz and Amir Murillo also got on the scoresheet to render Abdoulaye Toure's strike as consolation.
Elsewhere, Lyon missed the chance to also move above Paris Saint-Germain after they lost 3-2 against Nice.
Full-time.

Sofiane Diop was the star of the first half as he assisted Melvin Bard's opener before scoring himself either side of Pavel Sulc's goal.
The defining moments in the match occurred early in the second half, with Ainsley Maitland-Niles seeing his penalty saved by Yehvann Diouf less than two minutes before Hicham Boudaoui doubled Nice’s lead.
Sulc scored a second deep into stoppage time, but he was unable to spark a late comeback for the visitors.
Monaco, meanwhile, continued their poor run of form with a 1-1 draw against 17th-place Angers on Saturday.
Folarin Balogun's 72nd-minute opener was cancelled out by Sidiki Cherif, leaving Monaco in fifth and winless in their last four games in all competitions.

Data Debrief: Greenwood triggers Marseille goal fest
Marseille have scored at least four goals in a Ligue 1 home match in 2025 for the eighth time, at least two more than any other team in Europe's top five leagues, and Greenwood has been at the heart of it.
He has now scored 17 goals in Ligue 1 in 2025, the highest tally in the division over that period.
Greenwood also became the first Marseille player to score four goals in a single Ligue 1 game since Jean-Pierre Papin against Lyon in January 1991.
And with 27 goals in the French top-flight, the Marseille striker equals the highest tally for an English player in Ligue 1 since 1947-48 (27 for Glenn Hoddle).
