Marseille beat Toulouse 2-0 in their Ligue 1 clash on Sunday, with goals from Dimitri Payet and Florian Thauvin securing all three points for the home side.

The match was a closely contested affair, but Marseille were ultimately able to hold on to take all three points. The victory saw them move up to third place in the table, just two points behind second-placed Paris Saint-Germain.

For Marseille, it was another strong performance from their attacking players. Dimitri Payet and Florian Thauvin were both on target, with the former netting twice. The Frenchman's goal was his first since returning to Marseille, and he has been a key player for the club this season.

Thauvin also played a crucial role in the win, scoring his fourth league goal of the season. He was instrumental in creating chances for his teammates, and his pace and movement down the left flank was a major threat to Toulouse's defence.

Meanwhile, Toulouse will be disappointed with their defeat, as they have now lost two consecutive matches in the league. They currently sit in eighth place, five points adrift of safety.

Overall, the result was a reminder of the strength of competition in Ligue 1, and how difficult it can be to stay at the top of the table. Both teams will want to build on this victory and continue their good form going forward.
