  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Greenwood has been in fine form for Marseille since the forward left Manchester United in a cut-price deal last summer. The 23-year-old has largely shone with Les Olympiens this season, and despite talk of a feud between the forward and coach Roberto De Zerbi, Greenwood is continuing to perform for the French side.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Greenwood scored his 19th Ligue 1 goal of the season on Sunday night, as he also bagged an assist for Amine Gouri's spectacular bicycle kick. Gouri was the major star of the night with his hat-trick, but it was also a special night for Greenwood as he matched Drogba's record of scoring 19 league goals in his debut season with Marseille.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    The overall record for the most league goals scored by a player in his debut season with Marseille is currently held by ex-Swansea striker Bafetimbi Gomis, who scored 20 times during his loan spell in 2016-17.

    WHAT NEXT FOR GREENWOOD?

    The 22-year-old now only needs one goal to equal Gomis' record and two more goals to outright hold the record for most league goals by a Marseille player in their debut campaign. However, Greenwood only has three more games to do so with the end of the season closing in.
