Marseille Bounce Back with Thrilling 4-2 Win Over Lyon Ahead of Bielsa’s Arrival
The announcement of Marcelo Bielsa’s appointment as Marseille’s new head coach for next season has injected a fresh sense of energy into the squad, with the team delivering an impressive 4-2 victory over Lyon on Sunday.
Marseille, who had shown little spark in recent weeks, came alive against their rivals after a shaky start to the match. It was Diawara, making his first appearance in three months, who opened the scoring for OM. The goal seemed to lift the Phocéens, and Florian Thauvin doubled the lead just 30 minutes into the game.
However, Lyon fought back just before the break, with Mvuemba pulling one back to make it 2-1 and keep the match alive heading into the second half.
After the interval, Marseille reasserted their dominance. Gignac extended the lead to 3-1 and then quickly completed a brace, making it 4-1 in quick succession. Lyon’s Bafétimbi Gomis added a late goal to reduce the deficit, but it was little more than a consolation as Marseille held on for a vital victory.
The win gives Marseille some breathing room as they remain in contention for a European spot. With Bielsa set to take over in the summer, OM fans can now look forward to a promising future.
