Lyonnais 1 - 1 Marseille

Substitute Corentin Tolisso rescued Lyon in a 1-1 draw against mid-table Ligue 1 rivals Marseille but the point did little for either side's European aspirations.

Tolisso, a 68th-minute replacement for Sergi Darder, swept home Mathieu Valbuena's 79th-minute free-kick to cancel out Remy Cabella's 65th-minute opener for Marseille, for whom big goalkeeper Steve Mandanda won man of the match.

France international Mandanda pulled off fine saves to deny Valbuena and Alexandre Lacazette, while Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi struck the post in the first half and also had a 'goal' in the second period ruled out for a dubious offside decision.

Batshuayi went closest to opening the scoring for Marseille in the 26th minute when he weaved his way into the box and fired a low shot against a post after Mandanda had darted off his line to thwart Lacazette at the other end.

Mandanda pulled off another fine save to keep out Rachid Ghezzal's 36th-minute effort and punched clear Sergi Darder's long-range shot early in the second period.

Marseille took the lead courtesy of Batshuayi's sublime lay-off from Bouna Sarr's cross, with Cabella rifling the ball home from 12 yards.

Tolisso's 71st-minute shot was saved by Mandanda's legs as Lyon pressed for the equaliser, but the home side should have been 2-0 down three minutes later when Batshuayi bundled the ball home, only to be unfairly ruled offside.

Lyon deservedly equalised with 11 minutes to go. Valbuena curled a superb free-kick into the box and Tolisso escaped his marker to sweep the ball home from 10 yards.

Marseille substitute Andre-Frank Anguissa went close with an overhead kick in the 87th minute and Mandanda produced another excellent save to turn away Lacazette's volley a minute later as Marseille held on to extend their unbeaten league run to nine matches.
