Greenwood´s late penalty fires Marseille past Monaco and into second

Mason Greenwood’s late penalty propelled Marseille past Monaco with a 2-1 victory in Sunday’s eye-catching Ligue 1 clash.

Greenwood converted from 12 yards with just a minute of normal time remaining, moving Marseille up to second in the table and ahead of Monaco on goal difference.

The spot-kick was awarded for a handball from full-back Christian Mawissa as Marseille ended a three-game winless run against Monaco in the league.

Valentin Rongier’s poor pass in the first half had earlier allowed Aleksandr Golovin to counter-attack and open the scoring with just his second Ligue 1 goal of the campaign.

Luis Henrique subsequently levelled before the hour, capitalising on some fine work from Neal Maupay, before Greenwood snatched victory for Roberto De Zerbi’s side.
