Good morning, everyone.
It’s not often that we get a front page story coming from a mid-table Ligue 1 match, but that’s the story today. It all started when, towards the end of the match, fans of OGC Nice struck Marseille forward Dmitri Payet with a bottle. Enraged, Payet hurled the water battle back into the crowd. From this point total chaos ensued.

It’s nice to have fans back, isn’t it?
