Marseille beat French side Valenciennes

Olympique Marseille maintained their 100 percent start to the Ligue 1 by beating Valenciennes with a goal to nothing.

Andre Pierre Gignac scored his third goal in as many matches as his side struggled to beat a brave Valenciennes side. Andrew Ayew nearly broke the deadlock in the first half with a header, only for it to be excellently tipped away by Valenciennes' keeper Nicolas Penneteau.


Steve Mandanda kept Jean Christophe Bahebeck's close range shot away to keep the game a goalles draw, until Gignac scored the winner 6 minutes from time after pouncing on a rebound from an Ayew header, after a corner.


Marseille top the Ligue 1 now, ahead of St Etienne and Olympique Lyonnais.
