"Mason Greenwood scored four goals as Marseille routed 10-man Le Havre 6-2 and leapfrogged bitter rivals Paris Saint-Germain at the top of the Ligue 1 standings on Saturday. The former Manchester United forward, who made a permanent transfer to Marseille in the 2024 summer, was unstoppable and guided his team to a fifth straight win. After eight rounds, Marseille were one point above PSG, who were held to a home draw with Strasbourg on Friday. Marseille were raining goals -- 21 in eight matches -- and finding defensive stability under coach Roberto De Zerbi."
"After Le Havre defender Gautier Lloris was sent off for a voluntary handball in the area, Greenwood converted the tying penalty. Yassine Kechta had put visiting Le Havre ahead. Greenwood added three more goals after the interval. He has been flourishing in Marseille and finished last season as the joint top scorer alongside Ousmane Dembélé with 21 goals, although the France star took the trophy because he scored fewer penalties than Greenwood. Greenwood became the first Marseille player to score four goals in a Ligue 1 match since Jean-Pierre Papin in 1991, according to stats provider Opta."
