Marseille held by Strasbourg

Marseille, Bordeaux and Nantes all missed out on the chance to move into the top three of Ligue 1 after draws on Sunday.OM led twice against Strasbourg, but eventually needed a late Kostas Mitroglou effort to earn a share of the spoils at 3-3.Dimitri Payet’s early opener from Jordan Amavi’s cross was cancelled out by Jean-Eudes Aholou and Bakary Kone, having put through his own goal, redeemed himself by heading Strasbourg’s second equaliser from a corner.??
