Decisive passer, key man on Sunday of Marseille's first victory in nine years against Paris SG, Dimitri Payet concluded in apotheosis his game of provocations with the Parisian public.

"Payet, Payet, we enc you…!"

From the warm-up, the few supporters of the Auteuil stand, usually occupied by the ultras, set the tone.

Insulted up and down, copiously whistled each time he had the ball, the 33-year-old midfielder, tenured on the left side by André Villas-Boas, had the change of his coin at the Park.

In the renewed rivalry between Parisians and Marseillais, it was indeed he who had started to raise the sauce at the end of August, after the defeat of PSG in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich.

An ironic lodger tweet about the star of European champion, still absent on the PSG jersey.

His remarks, which he assumed until the match - "It's fair game (...) between + enemies +, we spoof on it", he justified the day before - him were worth being targeted, he and his wife, by a banner of the Ultras Paris Collective ironic on the fact that he had never "raised" the slightest trophy.

And on the pitch, he was for many in the electric atmosphere of a choppy and tense match.

An altercation with Neymar earned him a yellow card in the 12th minute, also collected by the Brazilian from PSG.

A fault committed on him by Leandro Paredes (71st), who earned the Argentinian a yellow card, even provoked the cheers of the Park while Payet remained on the ground for more than a minute.

"Dimitri had a very good match. PSG pressed him, attacked him, with the supporters against (him), he played well", greeted his coach André Villas-Boas.

- Celebrated as a goal -

It was on a free kick about 35 meters from Sergio Rico's cage that he achieved his feat.

At the 31st, his cross arrives at the far post.

Florian Thauvin, at the reception, deceives the Spanish doorman and opens the scoring for OM.

He celebrates the goal as if he had scored it.

Rebelote when Dario Benedetto believes he is doubling the bet (63rd), on an action following a corner from Payet.

The Reunionese will celebrate the goal before the Argentine's goal is called off for offside.

If the game of the Phocéens was more often on the right side, several free kicks from Payet (45th + 2, 49th) created danger in the Paris area.

Just like a nice center (21st) pushed back by Juan Bernat, or a foray into the Parisian surface well controlled by the Parisian captain Presnel Kimpembe.

As Thomas Tuchel's players miss opportunities and tension mounts, Payet is increasingly targeted by the public at the Parc, who sees the first defeat against OM in nine years and twenty matches approaching.

Replaced in the 76th by Nemanja Radonjic, Payet is still at zero goals in eleven confrontations with PSG since becoming an OM player.

But while he remained on a draw and nine losses, his victory counter is now unlocked.

He who, in 2011, went out of his way to be transferred to PSG - when he played in Saint-Etienne - has definitely made this episode forget.

And stands out as the Olympian hero of the evening.
