Montpellier v Marseille
Ryad Boudebouz brace helps Montpellier defeat Marseille
Ryad Boudebouz's first-half double paved the way for Montpellier to claim a much-needed 3-1 home win over Marseille.
Boudebouz had scored twice on his most recent appearance -- a 6-2 defeat at Monaco last month -- and took just four minutes to get on the scoresheet when he had a simple tap-in after Steve Mounie's shot was saved into his path.
The Algeria international doubled Montpellier's advantage after 36 minutes when he took a touch and volleyed home after Souleymane Camara's cross bounced through to him in the middle of the area.
Montpellier have conceded the most goals in Ligue 1 this season and gave Marseille hope when Laurent Pionnier put through his own goal.
But Mounie restored the home side's two-goal cushion moments later to seal just their second win in 11 league games.
