Marseille secured their place at the top of Ligue 1 after thrashing Angers 2-1 at Stade Velodrome on Sunday evening. The match was played under scorching sun, but it did not deter the visitors from putting up a strong fight against the hosts.

The first half started off poorly for Marseille, as they struggled to create any real threat against the Angers defense. However, things changed in the second half when Antoine Griezmann and Florian Thauvin combined well to set up Dimitri Payet, who scored his second goal of the season to put Marseille ahead.

Payet continued his good form in the second half, scoring again shortly after the break to double Marseille's lead. The final whistle was blown just seconds later, leaving Marseille fans celebrating their victory.

The win puts Marseille one point clear of Paris Saint-Germain at the top of the table, and could potentially see them clinch the title this weekend. It was another impressive display from Marseille, who have been in fine form all season. Their recent wins over Lyon and Bordeaux have cemented their position as one of the top teams in France, and they will be looking to continue their winning ways next week.
