Second-placed Marseille lost further ground on leader PSG by drawing 1-1 with Strasbourg in the French league on Sunday. Facing a well-organized and lively visiting side, Marseille struggled to develop its attacking moves in the first half and relied on a penalty converted by Mason Greenwood after the interval to secure a point.

Marseille will look to further strengthen their credentials as PSG’s most threatening opponents as the second-placed Phocéens host in-form RC Strasbourg Alsace this Sunday at the Vélodrome.
