MASON GREENWOOD SCORES TWO GOALS IN ONE MINUTE TO FOLLOW IN MARIO BALOTELLI'S FOOTSTEPS AS EX-MAN UTD FORWARD'S FANTASTIC MARSEILLE START CONTINUES

  • Marseille raced to a 2-0 lead vs Toulouse
  • Greenwood scored both goals
  • Has five strikes in three Ligue 1 matches

WHAT HAPPENED?

Greenwood once again hogged the limelight as he took just 17 minutes to score a brace against Toulouse. He has been in sensational form since he shifted base to France and boasts of having five goals in his first three matches in Ligue 1.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Greenwood's scoring streak has put him on the same pedestal as Balotelli who had as many strikes to his name after his three three matches during his Ligue 1 stint with Nice in 2016. This is an incredibly rare feat as Greenwood and Balotelli are the only two players to achieve this milestone in the last 50 seasons in the French top flight.

DID YOU KNOW?

Greenwood's No. 10 shirt is the highest-selling jersey among all Marseille players. It would not be surprising if the sales number saw a further spike after another glittering performance for his new side.

WHAT NEXT FOR GREENWOOD?

Greenwood would aim to continue his rich vein of form even after the international break when he returns to action against Nice on September 14.
