• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Marseille battled back to take the lead, only to concede again in the 93rd minute. There was, however, to be even more drama to come as Jonathan Rowe grabbed the most dramatic of winners two minutes later. A stunning victory with 10 men has lifted De Zerbi’s team to the top of the Ligue 1 table.

• WHAT GREENWOOD SAID

  Greenwood was unable to add to his goal tally against Lyon, having already found the target on five occasions this season, but formed part of wild dressing room celebrations afterwards and has posted on social media: “Down to 10 men but never down in spirit! Incredible win beating the odds!”
