OM, a success that came out of nowhere.
Carried by a sharp Payet, Marseille turned around a badly started situation in Monaco to sign a resounding success (2-3).
In the 98th minute, Kolasinac, so decried for his failure against Tottenham in the Champions League, was the hero of his team by extending a free kick from Payet with his head and going to celebrate his goal with all his supporters who came to Louis II.
A joy equal to the relief of a team that has suffered for a long time and will have gone through all the emotions.

Monaco came back from nowhere
Monaco will be able to harbor regrets after having thought of overthrowing a more sharp-edged Marseille team from the start.
More orderly in their game, the Phocaeans have indeed obtained a lot of situations (2nd, 9th, 16th, 21st, 23rd, 26th) until finding the opening on a master free kick from Alexis Sanchez (0-1 , 35th).
But Monaco, however in difficulty, managed to come back thanks to a penalty caused by Diatta and transformed by Ben Yedder, with a subtle "panenka" (1-1, 45th).
An equalizer just before the break which changed the face of the game a little.
More dashing, less passive, the Monegasques indeed delivered a much better second half, taking advantage of OM's usual slowdown in the second half.
The decisive entry of Payet
Pau Lopez thus delayed the deadline (57th, 67th) until being deceived by Volland, well launched by Golovin (2-1, 72nd).
Stunned, like the serious injury of Amine Harit which should make him miss the next World Cup, Marseille took a long time to regain his senses but finally returned to energy thanks to the incredible entry of Payet.
Decisive passer for Veretout, author of a good sequence (2-2, 83rd), the Reunionese went for the free kick which changed everything in the last moments.
A memorable success that allows OM to stay on the wheel of the podium.
