Payet's wing breaksets Marseille

In a stunning victory for Payet, the French international scored a brace as his side Marseilles secured a crucial 2-1 win over rivals Nice on Sunday.

The match was tense throughout, with both teams showing their class in front of goal. However, it was Payet who came to the rescue, scoring twice in the space of five minutes late in the first half.

First up, Payet beat the offside trap and fired home from inside the box,Ligue 1 Express before calmly converting a penalty after the ball had deflected off a defender's hand.

Nice fought back valiantly, but Payet was too hot to handle, and his second goal came just two minutes later when he headed in a cross from the right.

Marseille's victory means they remain top of Ligue 1, while Nice slip down to fifth place. It was a memorable day for Payet, who has been linked with a move away from Stade de France this summer. He now looks set to stay at the club, where he can continue to make an impact on the pitch.
