MARIO BALOTELLI FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS

Mario Balotelli has now scored for the third time in four games for French club, Marseille to secure an important 3 points with a 2-0 victory over Amiens in Ligue 1 on Saturday. The Italian could not find the back of the net in about 10 matches for Nice this season but has found his goalscoring form since arriving at Marseille last month.

In form player, Florian Thauvin bagged his 12th goal this term to give Marseille the lead on 19 minutes at the Stade Velodrome, and Balotelli swept in a second on the turn just six minutes later. Balotelli appeared to have grabbed a second midway through the second half when he nodded in from a free-kick, but the goal was ruled out for offside following a VAR review.

It is the first time this season that Marseille have won three matches in a row and they now sit fourth on the table, only six points behind Lyon in the final Champions League spot.
