OM knocks off Montpellier in a broken victory

The Olympique de Marseille bounced back yesterday against Montpellier, after a humiliating defeat last week in Monaco. The Phocaeans have won a convincing 5-1 victory, a performance marked by a major role of Adrien Rabiot, whose performance we analyze.

For this game, Paulo Fonseca maintained the usual game system, with Rabiot playing a hybrid role on the left wing of the Marseille attack. Despite a promising start to the game, with a penalty converted by the English community, Greenwood, OM failed to keep its lead. The first half was little animated.

It was in the second period that the game really took off. The Marseillais unleashed their attack, scoring four goals against a weakened Montpellier. Despite a lonely goal by Mosson’s men, OM finally won with a wide margin.
