Payet scores stunner as Marseille edge past RB Leipzig following dramatic second-leg goal-fest
Marseille booked their place in the final four of the Europa League in dramatic fashion on Thursday night as they edged past RB Leipzig after a thrilling second-leg lit up by Dimitri Payet.
The former West Ham star claimed an assist before scoring his side's decisive fourth goal with a fine piece of individual brilliance.
Leipzig led 1-0 from the first leg and the German side appeared to be in total control after Bruma found the net after just two minutes in France to make it 2-0 on aggregate.
