Marseille has secured their first league title in nine years after securing a comfortable victory over Angers on Sunday. The result means that the club will be crowned champions for the first time since 2012-13.
The game was a closely contested affair, with both sides creating chances throughout the match. However, it was Marseille who ultimately emerged victorious, thanks to a hat-trick from forward Dimitri Payet. The Frenchman scored twice in the first half and then added another late in the second period to secure all three points for his side.
Payet's performance was nothing short of sensational, as he showcased his incredible goal-scoring prowess once again. His three goals were testament to his clinical finishing and ability to create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates.
The win moves Marseille up to third place in the table, just two points behind leaders Nice. They have now clinched the title with five games remaining in the season, leaving them well-placed to secure a top-two finish and potentially qualify for the Europa League next season.
For Marseille fans, this is a huge boost after a disappointing campaign last term. The club had struggled under new manager Lucien Favre, but Payet's return to form has been a real boost for the team. With the likes of Dimitri Payet, Florian Thauvin and Alvaro Gonzalez all in good form, there is no doubt that Marseille will be a force to be reckoned with come the end of the season.
Overall, it has been a remarkable season for Marseille, and they can rightfully celebrate their first league title in 14 years. Their fans will be hoping that Payet can continue his impressive form and lead the team to more success in the future.
