Marquinhos the hero as Paris Saint-Germain edge 10-man Marseille in feisty Le Classique clash

Paris Saint-Germain captain Marquinhos proved to be the matchwinner as the reigning champions edged ten-man rivals Marseille 2-1 in a fiery Le Classique at the Stade Velodrome. The hard-fought victory lifts Luis Enrique's side up to sixth in Ligue 1, while piling further misery on their bitter rivals who remain trapped in the relegation zone.

The breakthrough arrived in the second half when substitute Ferran Torres headed home Desire Doue's pinpoint cross to put PSG in front. Marseille drew level courtesy of Angel Gomes' close-range finish following sharp combination play with Amine Gouiri. However, Marquinhos restored the visitors' lead almost immediately by pouncing on a loose ball from a corner before Timothy Weah was sent off for a second bookable offence.
