In the match of round 8 of Ligue 1, Marseille easily won 5-0 on the field of Montpellier. The victory of the port city team had a strong mark of Mason Greenwood. In addition to a goal, the English striker also contributed an assist in the visit to La Mosson.
In Ligue 1 season 2024/25, Greenwood scored 5 goals for Marseille in the first 3 rounds. But then, this striker went through 4 consecutive rounds without being able to score. It was not until the match on the morning of October 21 in round 8 that the former MU striker scored again.
Despite being away, Marseille entered the match with the highest determination. The superiority of the away team was evident from the first minute when Wahi scored after a header from Wahi. However, the person with the greatest contribution to this goal must be Mason Greenwood. The English striker made a very quick cross from the right wing, creating conditions for Rowe to bring the ball inside, creating conditions for Wahi to score.
Immediately after that, Greenwood showed why he is the number 1 star in Marseille’s attack when he raised the score to 3-0 for Marseille. Former MU player Greenwood received the ball on the right wing and made a cross for Hojbjerg to run in and finish close to the goal.
Not stopping there, the English striker also added his name to the scoreboard in the 58th minute. That was Greenwood’s trademark move. Receiving a pass from Wahi, Greenwood pushed the ball forward, turned his feet and then shot diagonally with his right foot, raising the score to 4-0 for the Southern French club.
This is Mason Greenwood’s sixth goal in Ligue 1 this season. He is currently second in the race for the Golden Boot, only behind young talent Bradley Barcola of PSG (7 goals). After 8 rounds, Greenwood has had a hand in 8 goals (6 goals, 2 assists).
Marseille’s remaining four goals in the “destructive” match against Montpellier were scored by Elye Wahi, Amine Harit, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Luis Henrique. With this victory, Marseille still ranked third in the Ligue 1 rankings (17 points), 3 points behind PSG and Monaco.
With impressive scoring form in Marseille, Greenwood is very hopeful of being recalled to the England team. According to SunSport, in the near future, this striker will talk to coach Thomas Tuchel, who was recently appointed by the English Football Association (FA) as the coach of the England team.
Mason Greenwood just joined Marseille in the summer of 2024 for a price of about 31.6 million Euros. Although selling Greenwood, MU still attached a clause to prioritize buying back this striker in the future.
