Olympique de Marseille take Ligue 1 lead

ANGERS: Jonathan Clauss shone as Olympique de Marseille started a marathon run of games with a convincing 3-0 win at Angers to move top of the Ligue 1 standings on Friday.

Playing the first of 11 matches in 55 days, OM benefited from French international wing back Clauss's neat performance to gear up for a potentially decisive Champions League game against Sporting on Tuesday.

Clauss score one and set up Luis Suarez and Gerson for the others to put Marseille on 23 points from nine games, one ahead of Paris St Germain who host Nice on Saturday.

Angers, who hit the woodwork through Nabil Bentaleb early on, are left in 14th place on eight points. Agencies
