It was not all good news for the hosts at the Parc des Princes, however, as Kylian Mbappe limped off the pitch with a possible ankle injury in the first half.

“It was a perfect game. We’re getting close to having what we want, players always connected, defending and attacking together,” coach Luis Enrique told a press conference.

Marseille, who have had a rough week off the field amid a feud with their fans, are seventh on nine points.

Roma held

A late header by Duvan Zapata earned Torino a 1-1 draw at home to AS Roma on Sunday, quashing the Roman side’s hopes of improving on their underwhelming start to the Serie A season.

Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku had put Roma ahead in the 68th minute, taking the ball around his marker and sending a low, left-footed shot into the net.

But five minutes before stoppage time, the hosts equalised when Colombian Zapata scored with a diving header from a free-kick into the box.
