Mason Greenwood produced a sensational performance as Olympique de Marseille crushed Le Havre 6-2 at the Orange Vélodrome on Saturday, with the English forward scoring four times to propel his side to the top of the Ligue 1 table.
The 24-year-old attacker was in unstoppable form, equalizing from the penalty spot before adding a spectacular curling effort to give Marseille control of the match. Greenwood completed his hat-trick with a precise finish and capped off his night with a composed strike to make it four goals, becoming the first Marseille player to achieve such a feat in Ligue 1 since 1991.
