Olympique de Marseille surged to the top of Ligue 1 with a dominant 5-1 win over rivals Nice at the Allianz Riviera.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opened the scoring early before Mason Greenwood struck twice, including a deflected effort that doubled the lead.

Timothy Weah and Igor Paixão added further goals after the break as Marseille capitalised on Nice’s defensive struggles, while Mohamed-Ali Cho grabbed a late consolation for the hosts.

The victory marks Marseille’s third straight league win and lifts them one point clear of PSG, who have a game in hand. Nice stay ninth after a difficult night at home.
