Marseille's Winning Streak Snapped by Lille
After a string of impressive victories, Olympique de Marseille were held to a 1-1 draw by Lille on Sunday, with teenager Mason Greenwood scoring a late equalizer for the visitors.
Following a goalless first half, Lille took the lead through Jonathan David in the 57th minute. The Canadian striker latched onto a loose ball in the Marseille penalty area and fired home from close range.
Marseille pushed for an equalizer and were rewarded in the 89th minute when Greenwood, on loan from Manchester United, headed in a cross from Cengiz Ünder.
Greenwood Continues to Impress
Greenwood's goal was his third in five Ligue 1 appearances for Marseille, and he has now scored in each of his last three games.
The 20-year-old has quickly become a fan favorite at the Stade Vélodrome, and his performances have helped Marseille climb to third in the league standings.
Greenwood's loan spell at Marseille is a reminder of his immense potential. He is a player with a bright future, and he is sure to continue to make waves in French football.
