Mason Greenwood Shines with Four Goals as Marseille Dominates with Six in Commanding Victory

Mason Greenwood showcased an impressive performance on October 18, 2025, scoring four goals as Marseille claimed a commanding 6-2 victory against Le Havre. This win allowed Marseille to overtake their rivals Paris Saint-Germain, leading the Ligue 1 standings. The match took place at the Stade Velodrome, where Greenwood, a former Manchester United forward, has made a significant impact since his transfer to Marseille in the summer of 2024.

Mason Greenwood’s Impact on Marseille

Greenwood’s four-goal display not only highlighted his talent but also marked a historic moment for Marseille. According to Opta, he became the first player from Marseille to score four goals in a Ligue 1 match since Jean-Pierre Papin achieved this feat in 1991. This victory placed Marseille at the top of Ligue 1, one point ahead of PSG, who drew against Strasbourg earlier in the week.

Yassine Kechta initially put Le Havre in the lead.
Robinio Vaz and Amir Murillo contributed to the goal tally for Marseille.
Le Havre’s Aboulaye Touré scored a stunning volley, reducing the deficit.

Marseille displayed offensive prowess, scoring a total of 21 goals in their first eight matches of the season. The team is currently enjoying a five-match winning streak and is finding defensive stability under coach Roberto De Zerbi. After the match, captain Leonardo Balerdi expressed his satisfaction, stating, “It was the perfect evening.”
