Marseille ratings after 5-2 win at Angers

Marseille left Angers with a 2-5 away win in Angers vs Marseille, and the scoreboard matched the spread of the performances. Timothy Weah set the tone with two assists, Himad Abdelli scored against his former club, Amine Gouiri converted from the spot and Amine Harit came off the bench to finish the game off.

Marseille's attacking depth

Weah was the highest-rated Marseille player at 8.25, and it was easy to see why in the first-half comeback. His cross set up Abdelli's 37th-minute equaliser, then he kept supplying the kind of final ball Marseille needed after going behind early.

Gouiri's 7.96 rating fits the rest of the picture. He had four shots, three on target, and in the 60th minute he took the penalty again after Anthony Lopes had saved the first attempt. Harit added a late burst of his own, scoring in the 83rd minute before Igor Paixão struck two minutes later.

The run Marseille needed

The result gave Marseille a second consecutive league victory, their first such run this season, and that is the more important bit after the European disappointment. The attack did not rely on one standout name. Abdelli rated 8.2, Harit 7.6 and Paixão 7.33, so the damage came from several directions rather than one player carrying the load.

Marseille also finished with 58% possession, eight shots on target and 2.86 xG, which lines up with a side that kept pressing after the comeback was complete. The next league test now comes with a bit more confidence, and a clearer sense that the goals can come from across the front line.
