Ligue 1 top 3 without injury time: Marseille left to rue missed chances 🥶

It could be costly at the end of the season.

Saturday night, after PSG's defeat in Monaco (0-1), Olympique de Marseille thought they were holding the top spot in Ligue 1 as they led 2-1 against Toulouse with a few minutes remaining.

But, in a scenario exactly similar to the match against Angers (2-2) exactly a month ago, the Olympians faltered in injury time on a long throw-in from the Toulouse side and conceded a draw (2-2).

As a result, OM remains second, one point behind PSG, and could even see Lens take the Ligue 1 throne alone.

These missed match endings by the Marseillais are a recurring issue, as according to @Statsdufoot on X, the Phocaeans have already lost three points in injury time this season.

But where the shoe pinches is that PSG and Lens have respectively gained four and two points during the final minutes of matches.

In other words, without injury time, OM would currently be leading with a six-point advantage over PSG and Lens, unlike today where they could be alone in third place in Ligue 1 if Lens wins against Angers.
