"It came just moments after Folarin Balogun thought he had given Monaco the lead, but his effort was ruled out by VAR for offside. Greenwood buried a first time shot from just inside the area after being slipped in by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. He was booked for taking his shirt off in the celebrations that followed, but Marseille held on for a result that kept them within five points of leaders Lens."
"Marseille may feel victory was deserved on the balance of play, but Monaco matched them when it came to opportunities. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Timothy Weah forced early saves from Monaco goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky, but Aleksandr Golovin and Takumi Minamino had chances at the other end. Greenwood twice missed the target and Minamino had further efforts for Monaco before Igor Paixão drew a save from Hradecky."
