OM got off to a great start, auguring well before the return to the Champions League on Wednesday at Tottenham.
With a goal from Gerson (8th) and the third achievement from Alexis Sanchez (84th), the Chilean still scoring away for the moment, Igor Tudor's men won a fifth victory in six matches.
Marseille has 16 points, ahead of Paris SG (13 pts), which can regain first place if they win at La Beaujoire.
Lens (3rd, 13 pts) can keep pace provided they win at Reims on Sunday (3:00 p.m.).
The other Olympique, Lyonnais (10 pts), is also doing well, and remains in ambush with 13 points and one game less, the one postponed to Lorient because of the state of the field.
With a new goal from Alexandre Lacazette and a double from Karl Toko-Ekambi, their attackers in good shape, OM remain in contact with the top three.
On the Angers side, this new disaster, fourth defeat in a row, leaves the SCO in penultimate place, with the worst defense in L1, 17 goals conceded, two more than Brest, who had taken seven at once against Montpellier (7-0) last weekend.
Nothing is going well in Maine, where coach Gérald Baticle is in danger.
Only downside to this awful evening, this time the SCO did not receive any red card, unlike the last three matches...

"It's not over, the season is long and I assure you that we will not let go," promised Adrien Hunou at the microphone of Prime Video.
The last, Ajaccio, has the opportunity to leave the red lantern at SCO if it does not lose against Lorient, Sunday (3:00 p.m.).
