Lille’s only goal came from in the opening 15 minutes thanks to Sven Botman’s header
The midfielder faced the fans, raised his arm in the air and showed them his middle finger before sitting down.
Sanches’ frustration stemmed from the fact Lille took the lead in the opening 15 minutes thanks to Sven Botman’s header.
However, the reigning champions lost their grip on the game after Benjamin Andre was dismissed for two-bookable offences that within two minutes of each other.
This allowed Marseille to get back into the game and claim an equaliser in the 75th minute thanks to Under’s strike from the edge of the area.
