Lille grab 2-1 victory against Marseille

Author: Agencies

PARIS: Lille came from a goal down to earn a home 2-1 win over Olympique Marseille in Ligue 1 on Saturday as the race for the Champions League places intensified. Marseille remain third on 73 points and, despite the loss, can be sure of at least a place in the Champions League qualifying round for next season after Olympique Lyonnais beat fourth-placed AS Monaco 3-1 earlier on Saturday. Defender Jonathan Clauss gave Marseille the lead just before the half-hour mark when he bundled the ball past Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier from close range. But Lille, now fifth in the league and unbeaten at home in all competitions since August, equalised from the spot shortly after the break through forward Jonathan David and winger Jonathan Bamba sealed the win in the 72nd minute with a header.
