Bouanga scores as AS Saint-Etienne shock Olympique Marseille

AS Saint-Etienne continued their bright start to the season having shocked Olympique Marseille 2-0 in Thursday’s Ligue 1 encounter.

Goals from Romain Hamouna and Denis Bouanga were all the Greens needed to silence their hosts at the Orange Velodrome.

Having won their first two games in the 2020-21 campaign, both teams went into this encounter hoping to maintain their 100 percent records.

Marseille were overwhelming favourites to make home advantage count having claimed their first win over Paris Saint-Germain in nine years, nevertheless, Claude Puel’s men had a different idea.
