PARIS (AP) — Dimitri Payet scored his second spectacular goal of the week to help second-placed Marseille beat Toulouse 1-0 in the French league on Saturday and extend its unbeaten run to 16 games overall.
Having scored a fine individual goal against Saint-Etienne in midweek, Payet received a pass from Bouna Sarr and whipped a 25-meter curler over the goalkeeper and into the top corner in the 51st minute.
Marseille was also indebted to goalkeeper Steve Mandanda’s stunning second-half save to keep out Belgian striker Aaron Leya Iseka’s close-range volley.
Payet was one of France’s best players at the European Championship four years ago, as his goals helped them reach the final. He missed the 2018 World Cup due to an injury but is pushing for a recall ahead of the Euro 2020.
The win moved Marseille nine points behind Paris Saint-Germain, which will be without the injured Neymar when it hosts Lyon on Sunday. Neymar hurt his ribs last weekend.
Toulouse remains rooted in last place but confounded its status by taking the game to Marseille, hitting the post in the first minute through Leya Iseka. Another goal was disallowed in the 28th for the ball being out of play.
Later Saturday, third-placed Rennes faced Brest, and Monaco traveled to play struggling Amiens.
