Marseille, led by Roberto De Zerbi, bounces back with a resounding victory against a ten-man Lorient team. Mason Greenwood's penalty kick began the goal, while Angel Gomes' spectacular volley opened his OM account. Debutants Benjamin Pavard and Nayef Aguerd both found their way onto the scoresheet. Olympique de Marseille benefited during the international break. With a completely new group of players at their disposal and the drama surrounding Rabiot and Rowe's altercation now behind them, OM's match against Lorient seemed almost like a fresh start to the season for Les Olympiens.
In addition to being a fresh start for Roberto De Zerbi's team, it also marked the start of a crucial week in which Les Olympiens must overcome a formidable trip to Real Madrid before facing Paris Saint-Germain in the Classique the following weekend. Les Marsiellais didn't look back after Les Olympiens led 3-0 against ten men at halftime.
