Marseille loses ground in Ligue 1 title race
Marseille lost more ground in the Ligue 1 title race after being held to a 1-1 draw by Strasbourg at Stade Velodrome.
Roberto De Zerbi's side is now nine points behind Paris Saint-Germain after the leader emerged a 2-1 victor against Lens 24 hours earlier.
Strasbourg was ahead in the 23rd minute after Emanuel Emegha was played in by Andrey Santos, with the Dutchman staying composed and lofting the ball over Geronimo Rulli.
Marseille continued to be frustrated by its opponent, failing to register a shot on target for the entirety of the first half, but came out firing after the interval.
Luis Henrique rattled the woodwork just after the hour before substitute Jonathan Rowe fired the first attempt at Djordje Petrovic's goal just two minutes after being introduced.
Marseille drew level in the 68th minute after Santos fouled Robinio Vaz in the box, with Greenwood stepping up to score the spot-kick for his 12th league goal of the season.
The hosts continued to push for the winner, though it was Strasbourg who came closest to snatching all three points as goalscorer Emegha hit the woodwork late on.
