Another Ligue 1 match abandoned as Dimitri Payet gets hit by bottle

The Lyon and Marseille match was abandoned two hours after Dimitri Payet was hit by a water bottle thrown by the spectators. This is the second match of the season that had to be abandoned because of crowd interruption. Marseille president, Pablo Longoria referred to the incident as a "dark night for football”.

The Marseille captain took a hit on the side of the head as he was preparing to take a corner for the visitors in the fifth minute and soon after both the teams had to retire to the changing rooms. Payet has been in a similar situation before, he was hit by a bottle during a game at Nice in August and was also heckled by Lyon supporters while warming up before kick-off. The next date for the match would be announced later.
