Payet's Free-Kick Helps Marseille Edge Ligue 1 Match 1-0, Still In Title Race with 34 Points

Marseille secured their third consecutive win in Ligue 1 on Saturday night as they defeated Rennes 1-0 thanks to a stunning free-kick from Dimitri Payet.

The French forward delivered a superb delivery that found the back of the net just four minutes into the second half, securing all three points for his side and putting them two points clear at the top of the table.

It was a much-needed victory for Marseille, who had been struggling for form recently and were looking to maintain their lead at the top of the table.

With just three games remaining in the season, there is still plenty of time for Marseille to secure their title hopes, but it will be a tough task against Paris Saint-Germain in their final matchday clash next weekend.

However, the victory over Rennes was a huge boost for Marseille and showed that they have what it takes to compete at the top level of French football.

Overall, it was a great performance from Payet and his team-mates, who continue to show their class and determination throughout the season. With just three games left to play, there is still plenty of football to be played and Marseille will need to stay focused if they want to keep up their title challenge.
