Marquinhos settles the Velodrome as Rosenior's Paris FC savour Strasbourg scalp

PSG finally find form

It took until the ninth and final game of the weekend in Ligue 1 for the run of home victories to come to an end as Paris Saint-Germain went to the Velodrome and beat rivals Marseille 2-1 in the big one on Sunday. Marquinhos scored the winner for PSG.

Although this was a spirited effort, it is four defeats in five games now for Marseille - their worst start to a Ligue 1 season. PSG remain oddly wasteful, missing seven big chances in this game, but a third win in a row hints at the European champions finding form.

Rosenior's pointed message

Nevertheless, the top team in the capital right now is managed by Liam Rosenior not Luis Enrique. The English coach certainly savoured Paris FC's 2-1 win over his former club Strasbourg, pointedly celebrating in front of the visiting fans and sparking ugly scenes.

"A small part of the supporters, and I emphasise, a small part of them, because Strasbourg is a fantastic club, were disrespectful," Rosenior explained afterwards.

It was, on a weekend when the headline act belonged to the European champions, a reminder that the most talked-about team in Paris are the ones managed by Rosenior.
