Marseille (AFP)

And six! Olympique de Marseille, with full confidence, pulled the score against Bordeaux (3-1) to sign their sixth consecutive victory and consolidate their place of dolphin, Sunday for the 17th day of Ligue 1.

Faith moves mountains. Led by a magnificent goal from Yacine Adli (31), OM has overthrown its former pursuer, now 5th, thanks to the complete redemption of Jordan Amavi

Balloté, Marseille did not doubt longer after the break, awakened by a player who knows about doubts. On a corner of Dimitri Payet, Amavi crossed the ball with an angry head, as if he put all the frustration accumulated for many months.

He proscribed, returned to its best level a few weeks ago, had the pleasure of hearing the public chant his name after months of whistles.

The joy of living and winning also breaks out in the celebration of Sanson (60), a race the arms in Christ of Corcovado, behind the goal to pass in front of the South turn, concluded in slip on the knees near the corner post, the white tide of his teammates in his wake.

He too becomes sharp after two seasons to stagnate.

Nemanja Radonjic's still joyful and confident, tongue-in-cheek and ears spread to celebrate the goal of the final gift package, with the complicity of Aurélien Tchouaméni (90 + 2).

- Benedetto package -

Thanks to all this positive energy, André Villas-Boas still beat a big one, after Lille (2-1) and Lyon (2-1), and gave the lesson to his former trainee Paolo Sousa (a week in Tottenham).

There remain two matches at OM against misclassified, in Metz and against Nimes, to consolidate this second place, and dream stronger of the Champions League, the Vélodrome, boiling Sunday, waiting for six years.

Bordeaux sees interrupting his series of five games without losses, logically, having scored on his only opportunity.

Suffering from blows, the Marines could not react after Amavi's goal. Paolo Sousa took out Adli, who curled the second yellow for a foul on Sanson (53), but South Korean Hwang Ui-jo was weaned off balloons.

The match had started well for the Girondins, and bad for Marseille, with the announcement of the package of his N.9 Dario Benedetto, victim of a contracture in one thigh, and ineffective in the first period.

OM relied on Valère Germain at the top. But the 2017 French champion (with Monaco) has completely missed his first goal ball (8).

Bouna Sarr also scored after being well served by Morgan Sanson (16).

- Amavi handed the OM to the place -

Then Valentin Rongier had a double opportunity on a thrust of Dimitri Payet (21), still very good.

By dint of giving up his chance, OM was punished on a wonderful shot post returning from Adli, very well served by a discount Josh Maja.

OM continued to produce play, Payet (39) or Hiroki Sakai on a center (45 + 3) were dangerous, but controlled by Benoît Costil.

But Amavi has relaunched the Olympians, and the confidence that has blown in the back of this team since made Bordeaux fly like a house of cards.

Harassed, the Girondins will crack under pressure.

A failed revival of Pablo, who had shown signs of nervousness earlier by shrieking his partner Loris Benito, ended up benefiting Sanson, who cleared Chouameni before cheating Costil and exploding with joy.

OM did not let go of its prey and could have further aggravated the bill. Rongier forced the Bordeaux goalkeeper to a little academic stop (66), Sanson crossed his shot too much (73), Radonjic, entered Germain's place (64), not enough (85).

Payet also attempted a 45-foot lob just above the bar (80). When we have confidence ...
