Ligue 1 Review: Marseille stun Monaco, Saint-Etienne batter Nice

The battle for European places in Ligue 1 looks set to go to the wire after Marseille produced a stunning late turnaround to beat fellow high-flyers Monaco 2-1 on Sunday.

Joao Moutinho gave the visitors the lead inside the first 60 seconds, firing in from the edge of the area to give Monaco a glorious start at Stade Velodrome.

The win moves Marseille back up to fourth and within two points of Monaco in the final UEFA Champions League berth with two games left, but Marcelo Bielsa's side are not the only team still chasing third.

Saint-Etienne also sit on 63 points following their 5-0 mauling of Nice in Sunday's second match.
