A Rod Fanni error could prove crucial in the Ligue 1 title race after Serge Gakpe scored Nantes' winner in the 1-0 scalp of Marseille.
Marseille's faltering Ligue 1 title challenge suffered a potentially fatal blow after a huge defensive blunder gifted Nantes a 1-0 win on Friday.
Togolese attacker Serge Gakpe profited from Rod Fanni's dreadful back pass attempt to give the hosts the lead after 20 minutes and Marcelo Bielsa's out-of-form side could not find a way back, meaning it could find themselves 10 points from the summit Sunday.
The visitors had their chances to punish Nantes on the day, but proved to be the architects of their own downfall, as Gakpe pounced on Fanni's poor pass to Steve Mandanda before slotting under the French goalkeeper.
