Awesome and terrible Marseille with demon Mason Greenwood, reached the top in Ligue 1!
Marseille did everything they wanted to Le Havre with a comprehensive 6-2 win in the 8th matchday of the French league and moved to the top of the table with 18 points, with Paris Saint-Germain trailing with a point less.
The visitors took the lead in the 24th minute through Kesta, but ten minutes later they were down a player after Joris was sent off. Greenwood scored with a penalty in the 35th minute and in the second half the former forward of Manchester United was throwing fire!
He found the back of the net three times in a nine (!) minute scoring frame, with Vaz in the 88th making it 5-1. Le Havre went down through Toure in stoppage time, but Mourinho finished the party for Marseille with a 6-2 final.
