PARIS, May 1 (Reuters) - Two goals from Andre-Pierre Gignac, the 100th and 101st of his Ligue 1 career, helped Olympique Marseille end a wretched run of four straight defeats as they swept past struggling Metz 2-0 on Friday.
France forward Gignac took his goal tally in the league this season to 19 when he pounced on a mistake by Metz goalkeeper Anthony Mfa in the 38th minute.
The Gabon international dropped the ball following a right-wing corner and the Marseille striker swivelled sharply to hook the rebound low into the net.
Gignac then made it 2-0 in the 62nd minute when Dimitri Payet, who had a superb game in midfield, sent him racing clear and he waited for Mfa to rush out at his feet before carefully dinking the ball over the keeper's head.
