Ligue 1: Amiens defeat Marseille 3-1


Marseille are set to fall further back in the Ligue 1 title race after crashing 3 - 1 at Amiens on Friday and stretching their run without a win to four matches .
Haitam Aleesami ’ s early strike , Serhou Guirassy ’ s 41 st - minute penalty and a stoppage - time counter - attack finished off by John Mendoza condemned Andre Villas - Boas ’ s side to a fourth league defeat despite Dario Benedetto levelling for the away side midway through the first half with a superb fifth goal of the season.
The loss comes after three straight draws and drops Marseille down to sixth on 13 points, five behind leaders Paris Saint -Germain and three from second - placed Angers ahead of the pair ’ s top- of - the -table clash at the Parc des Princes on Saturday afternoon .
Amiens meanwhile jump up to 11 th place after their third win of the season.
The hosts could have won by an even larger margin had Guirassy not crashed a great chance against the bar shortly after the break .
Juan Ferney Otero also wasted a golden opportunity for the hosts to make it three when clean through and one- on - one with Marseille stopper Steve Mandanda , fluffing his finish with teammates ready to take a pass and slot into an open goal
