DIMITRI PAYET left the Strasbourg keeper lying injured on the ground with an unbelievable stepover as he sealed victory for Marseille.

The French international raced onto Clinton Njie's flick to round Alexandre Oukidja and finish before the keeper was taken off on a stretcher.

His superb strike added to Njie's 77th minute effort to break Strasbourg's resistance after Valere Germain missed a penalty for Marseille.

Victory moved Rudi Garcia's side above Monaco into second - nine points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain, who have a game in hand.

Payet came on early in the second half and won a penalty after getting bundled over as he broke into the box from the right in the 72nd minute.

Germain stepped up but his telegraphed effort was palmed away by Oukidja.

The striker made amends by helping to set up the opening goal as his shot was pushed into former Tottenham ace Njie's path to fire home.

And Njie combined brilliantly with fellow sub Payet to seal victory with a strike Oukidja will not forget in a hurry.
