Marseille score six, climb above PSG in Ligue 1 table

Michy Batshuayi scored a first-half double as Marseille thrashed Toulouse 6-1 on Friday to move above Paris St Germain and into second place in the Ligue 1 standings.

Batshuayi opened the scoring for the visitors in the second minute before Baptiste Aloe doubled Marseille's lead shortly after.

Toulouse defender Francois Moubandje's own goal made it 3-0 after just 20 minutes with Batshuayi finding the net again before the break as Marseille finished the first half with a commanding four-goal lead.

Wissam Ben Yedder pulled one back for Toulouse in the 76th minute but Marseille were not done, and Andre Ayew notched their fifth two minutes later, with Andre-Pierre Gignac's goal a minute from the final whistle adding the gloss.
