Marseille vs. Lyon Ends 1-1 After Match Temporarily Stopped to Crowd Trouble

Marseille's 1-1 draw with Lyon was temporarily stopped, and the players were sent back to the dressing rooms following some crowd trouble in their fiery 1-1 draw at the Stade Velodrome, according to the Mirror's Aaron Flanagan.

BT Sport presenter Lynsey Hipgrave described the incident:

Referee has stopped the Marseille v Lyon match as the Marseille fans are pelting the players (esp Valbuena) with objects. Crazy scenes

As Flanagan noted, fans hurled glass bottles and flares in former Marseille player Mathieu Valbuena's direction, as well as at Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes.
