Gouiri hat-trick guides Marseille back to second in Ligue 1

Amine Gouiri scored a hat-trick, including an absolutely stunning overhead kick, as Marseille thumped Brest 4-1 on Sunday to reclaim second place in Ligue 1 amid a fierce fight for Champions League qualification.

Mason Greenwood was also on target with his 19th league goal of the campaign as Marseille made it back-to-back home wins with nine goals scored in eight days.

Roberto De Zerbi's side are second with three games left, 20 points adrift of champions Paris Saint-Germain and two points ahead of third-placed Lille, who won 2-0 at struggling Angers earlier.

However, just four points separate Marseille from Strasbourg in seventh, with six sides locked in an intense fight for European places as the French season reaches its climax.
