From joy to incomprehension in a few seconds: Marseille playmaker Dimitri Payet was sent off two minutes after opening the scoring, Sunday during the clash against Lyon on the 6th day of Ligue 1. After consulting the screen video assistance (VAR), referee Stéphanie Frappart released a red card to sanction the Reunionese (18th), author of a sole on the shin of Léo Dubois (18th).
Moments earlier, Payet was celebrating his goal, which allowed OM to gain the advantage (16th) despite OL's best start to the match.He hit the post unstoppable for Anthony Lopes, after good work on the recovery of Florian Thauvin.
Payet has already been the protagonist of the last "Olimpico", in Marseille in November 2019, with a double to ensure victory (2-1).
A similar sole led to the same sanction, for the Nantes native Andrei Girotto in Nice (2-1 defeat) on Saturday, from the 3rd minute.
