Marseille 1-3 Rennes: Wahbi Khazri debut goal sets up first Ligue 1 win

Rennes have secured their first victory of the Ligue 1 season by convincingly winning 3-1 in Marseille. The result also took them out of the division's bottom three and up to 14th with five points, and left their hosts in 10th place with seven.

Rennes impressively scored twice in the opening 10 minutes, first through on-loan Sunderland winger Wahbi Khazri, who neatly clipped Ismaila Sarr's cross into the bottom left corner from close range.

Benjamin Bourigeaud doubled their advantage eight minutes later, with a fine finish into the bottom right from outside the area.

With 20 minutes remaining all three points were effectively secured by Joris Gnagnon, with another close-range strike, into the bottom right, following Bourigeaud's cross.

Morgan Samson's consolation for Marseille came in the 87th minute, following Dimitri Payet's through-ball - and there was still time for Firmin Mubele Ndombe to miss a penalty for the visitors.

Lyon earlier climbed to third after a 2-1 home defeat of Guingamp.

They took the lead in only the 19th minute when, after receiving possession from Nabil Fekir, Mariano finished into the bottom right corner from just outside the area.

The visitors equalised in the 71st minute when Marcus Thuram headed in from Etienne Didot's cross, but Fekir restored Lyon's lead and secured victory only a minute later following an assist from Memphis Depay.

Lyon have won three and drawn two of their opening five fixtures, leaving them with 11 points, four behind leaders Paris St Germain.

St Etienne and Angers had each had a man sent off as they battled out a 1-1 draw at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.

A hectic opening to the contest saw the hosts take the lead in the first minute through Remy Cabella and Thomas Mangani equalise with a penalty eight minutes later after Ronael Pierre-Gabriel had handled in the box.

St Etienne were reduced to 10 men four minutes into the second half when Vincent Pajot was sent off following a challenge on Alexandre Letellier.

The numbers were evened up with seven minutes remaining as Enzo Crivelli was shown a red card having fouled Bryan Dabo.

Hosts St Etienne are fourth on 10 points after the stalemate, while Angers are seventh with seven.
