Weah's First Goal Since November

Winger Headed Home Marseille's Fourth in Rout Over Angers

Timothy Weah contributed to Olympique de Marseille's attacking masterclass as the French giants demolished Angers 5-2 in Ligue 1 action on Saturday. The 25-year-old United States international capped a dominant first-half performance with a well-taken header, his strike coming amid a ruthless display that saw Roberto De Zerbi's side score four goals before the interval.

Marseille entered the match brimming with confidence following their 9-0 thrashing of Bayeux in the Coupe de France, and they continued that momentum from the opening whistle. Weah was involved early, creating danger alongside teammates Amine Gouiri and Hamed Traore during the opening exchanges as the visitors seized control at Stade Raymond Kopa.

After Gouiri opened the scoring in the 19th minute and Mason Greenwood added a second five minutes later, Marseille's relentless pressure intensified. Traore made it three with a composed finish following Emerson Palmieri's assist, before turning provider for Weah's goal in the 36th minute. The American winger positioned himself perfectly inside the six-yard box to meet Traore's inch-perfect cross, directing his header into the net to make it 4-0.

Though Amine Sbaï pulled one back for Angers on the stroke of halftime, Marseille's commanding advantage never looked threatened. Weah completed the full 90 minutes, recording two shots on target from two attempts and maintaining an impressive 83% pass accuracy with 33 successful passes from 40 attempts.

The victory highlighted Marseille's extraordinary attacking prowess this season. Their 41 goals through 18 league matches represent their best return at this stage since the 1971-72 campaign, when they scored 42 and claimed the title. Since the start of 2025, they've netted 16 goals across all competitions, matching Bayern Munich for the most among Europe's top five leagues.

The win keeps Marseille firmly positioned in third place, though they remain eight points behind leaders Lens and seven adrift of Paris Saint-Germain, as they prepare for a crucial Champions League clash with Liverpool.
