A double from Mason Greenwood saw OM temporarily regain control of Ligue 1 this Saturday evening at Toulouse (1-3).
Clearly, Greenwood is off to a flying start in League 1. Five goals in his first three games in the French league over the past 50 years, only Mario Balotelli, with OGC Nice in 2016, has previously achieved this feat. This means
introduction of the English will-o-the-wisp For OM at the beginning of the year.
After a fast start to the game in front of their stadium crowd by the Toulouse side, Greenwood was responsible for dampening the spirits of the locals almost single-handedly. Well supported by Luis Henrique and Quentin Merlin, who again came into his own on the attack this evening, the former Red Devil put everyone in agreement with both legs (0-1, 16).e ; 0-2, 17:00e)
A bit too easy OM
TFC made the task even more difficult as Frank Magri immediately saw red for the sole of Geoffrey Kondogbia (27′).e) From then on, Roberto De Zerbi’s men were able to control the match without taking any risks, even attacking to some extent, easily missing several chances to equalise.
Charlie Cresswell, Luis Henrique’s try following Amin Harith’s Xavier, struck well for his side after returning from the dressing room (0-3, 52).e), but the Olympians did not claim more. Conversely, the Pokes left the last word to the Violets due to a misjudgment by Geronimo Rulli, which Xavi Babicka (1-3, 90) took advantage of.e) Annoying but anecdotal. Three days later, OM controls the elite. Temporarily. Waiting for Sunday’s Lille-PSG and Monaco-Lens clashes.
