Mason Greenwood Brace Powers Olympique Marseille Back Into Second Place

Mason Greenwood continued his sensational form in Ligue 1, scoring twice as Olympique Marseille thrashed Montpellier 5–1 to reclaim second place in the French top flight.

The on-loan English forward opened the scoring in the 8th minute from the penalty spot, setting the tone for a dominant performance at the Stade Vélodrome. Greenwood wasn’t done — he struck again in the second half with a composed finish from open play, taking his league tally to 18 goals this season.

With this double, Greenwood now trails only Moussa Dembélé in the Ligue 1 Golden Boot race, sitting just three goals behind the leader. His impact has been nothing short of game-changing for Marseille, who have surged into second place, edging ahead of AS Monaco by a single point.
