**Marseille Beats Angers in Ligue 1 Round 4: Payet's Double Puts Marseille Over the Line**
In a thrilling match that showcased the best of Ligue 1, Marseille secured a much-needed victory over their opponents Angers on Sunday night. The home side dominated the contest from start to finish, thanks to a stellar performance from attacking midfielder Yannick Payet.
Payet, who has been a key player for Marseille this season, was instrumental in the team's success. He scored two goals and assisted another, helping Marseille build a commanding lead throughout the game. Payet's contributions were crucial as Marseille controlled possession and looked poised to dominate the match.
The first goal came when Marseille took control of the ball deep into Angers' territory. Payet played a beautifully crafted pass through the midfield, which found his teammate Vincent Aboubakar on the edge of the box. Aboubakar then rifled the ball past the goalkeeper, giving Marseille a 1-0 lead.
In the second half, Marseille continued to dominate. Payet once again showed his prowess in front of goal. After receiving a perfectly placed cross from Antoine Griezmann, he calmly dispatched it into the back of the net, widening the gap between the teams. This second goal put Marseille firmly ahead and sealed their victory.
The third assist came when Payet delivered a pinpoint pass to substitute Kevin Trapp, who converted it into a second goal. This further solidified Marseille's position at the top of the table and gave them confidence going forward.
Angers, despite fighting hard, struggled to keep up with Marseille's pace and quality. Their defense was tested multiple times, but they couldn't find an equalizer. The lack of a response from Angers highlighted the disparity in form between the two teams.
This victory is significant for Marseille, who had been struggling early in the season. The win lifts Marseille's confidence and puts them in prime position for the rest of the league. Payet's double and assist highlight his importance to the team, showing that Marseille will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in Ligue 1.
As Marseille looks ahead to future matches, they can take solace in knowing that Payet continues to be one of their most valuable assets. With his performances, Marseille remains a formidable opponent in the French league.
