PARIS (AP) — Marseille won at rock-bottom Metz 3-0 to notch a fourth straight win in Ligue 1 and move on top on goal difference from Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon on Saturday.
Marseille winger Igor Paixão found the net in the 51st minute with a deflected strike from 18-year-old Robinio Vaz’s pass from the right.
Paixão scored two well-taken goals on Tuesday in a 4-0 win against Ajax in the Champions League. The Brazilian is finding form after joining from Feyenoord in a deal that could rise to 35 million euros ($40.6 million).
Denmark midfielder Matt O’Riley made it 2-0 in the 69th after being set up by forward Amine Gouiri, who then neatly swapped passes with O’Riley for the third goal.
The match was held up for a few minutes late on following crowd trouble. Metz and Marseille player
