Monaco beat Marseille to go top, Rosenior’s Paris FC thump Nice

Paris Brunner, a forward for Monaco, scored both goals in the 2-0 victory over Marseille at the Stade Louis II on Sunday. The 20-year-old striker opened the scoring in the 13th minute with a header from Aleksandr Golovin's cross, and nine minutes later, he scored again by cutting inside Marseille's center-backs Geoffrey Kondogbia and CJ Egan-Riley before shooting past Jeffrey De Lange.

In the capital of France, Paris FC secured a 3-0 home win over Nice. The goals were scored by Malian striker Lassine Sinayoko from the penalty spot in the 20th minute, Samir Chergui after a fast-paced counter-attack in the 51st minute, and Vincent Marchetti late on after a loose ball. Former Strasbourg boss Lionel Rosenior, who was brought back to France by the Arnault family after his unsuccessful tenure at Chelsea, led Paris FC to the win.

The victory lifted Paris FC to second place in Ligue 1, just behind Monaco, who have maintained a perfect record in the league after two matches.
