Mamadou Niang grabbed a second-half brace as Marseille got their Champions League Group D campaign up and running with a comprehensive win over PSV Eindhoven in dreadful conditions at the Stade Velodrome.

1-0 B.Kone 30′

2-0 M.Niang 63′

3-0 M.Niang 71′

OM needed to win to keep alive their hopes of a top-two finish and they did so in fine style, Baky Kone opening the scoring after 30 minutes.

Strike-partner Niang then marked a fine personal display by scoring twice in the space of eight minutes midway through the second half, as PSV fell apart at the back.

The result means OM go above PSV in the table, although the sides are now level on three points.
