MARSEILLE — New signing Amine Gouiri scored twice as Marseille thrashed struggling Saint-Étienne 5-1 in Ligue 1. Gouiri, who had impressed in his first two games since joining from Rennes, opened the scoring and added another, while Mason Greenwood, Amir Murillo, and Adrien Rabiot also found the net. Saint-Étienne’s Lucas Stassin pulled one back, but the visitors remain in the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Monaco hammered Nantes 7-1, with Danish striker Mika Biereth scoring a hat-trick for the second consecutive home game. Takumi Minamino and Eliesse Ben Seghir also found the net, while teenage substitute George Ilenikhena added two late goals. The win boosts Monaco's morale ahead of their Champions League return leg against Benfica.
