Marseille 2-1 Lille: Alexis Sanchez continues goalscoring form with first-half strike as Igor Tudor's side battle back at the Stade Velodrome to go second in Ligue 1

Olympique Marseille kept a grip on second place in Ligue 1 when goals by Alexis Sanchez and Samuel Gigot earned a 2-1 home win over Lille on Saturday.

Chilean Sanchez returned to the team after being suspended for the defeat at Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League on Wednesday and scored his fourth goal for Marseille this season.

Lille took the lead after 11 minutes when Ismaily calmly steered the ball into the net on the rebound after Adam Ounas' shot hit the post.
