Greenwood double sends Marseille top of French league

The 22-year-old Greenwood, who scored twice on his Marseille debut against Brest a fortnight ago and once against Reims last week, struck in the 16th minute in Toulouse before adding a second just a minute later, bringing his tally to five goals in three games.

Greenwood joined Marseille last month from Old Trafford, where his career began with much promise before he was suspended in January 2022 following allegations of attempted rape and sexual assault.

The charges were dropped by prosecutors in February 2023, and he went on to spend last season in Spain with Getafe.

Toulouse’s challenge was further complicated by the red card shown to forward Frank Magri in the 27th minute for a foul on Geoffrey Kondogbia.

Brazilian forward Luis Henrique provided the assists for both of Greenwood’s goals and thought he had scored himself seven minutes into the second half. However, Marseille’s third goal was later credited as an own goal by Charlie Cresswell.
