Marseille has taken another step towards securing a top-four finish in Ligue 1, with the team defeating Clermont on Saturday evening by a comfortable margin of three goals to zero.
The match was played at Stade Velodrome and saw Payet score two goals for his side. The French striker's first goal came early in the second half, while his second came late in the game, sealing the victory for the hosts.
Marseille had been struggling in recent weeks, but they have shown some signs of improvement under new manager Lucien Favre. With Payet scoring two crucial goals, it is clear that the forward is playing a key role in helping the team get back to their winning ways.
Clermont, on the other hand, were unable to find any way through the Marseille defense, despite having plenty of opportunities to score. The home team struggled to create many chances, which ultimately led to them being defeated by their rivals.
Overall, it was a solid performance from Marseille, who will be hoping to continue their good form into the final few games of the season. They currently sit in fourth place in the table, just one point behind Paris Saint-Germain, so every win counts towards securing a top-four spot.
